ZURICH, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Swiss Post said on Monday it

would from Tuesday temporarily suspend accepting goods

consignments to the United States due to new U.S. customs

regulations.

"Swiss Post is working on solutions to ensure goods

consignments can be shipped again as soon as possible," it said

in a statement, noting that the new U.S. regulations were

affecting postal services worldwide.

The news comes after U.S. President Donald Trump's

administration said last month it would suspend the global "de

minimis" exemption, which also allows minimal paperwork, for

international shipments under $800, effective August 29.
