伯尔尼，瑞士 -- 据协调全球邮政政策的联合国机构周五发布的一份报告，自关税豁免政策取消以来，进入美国和欧盟的小额国际包裹量大幅下降。
BERN, Switzerland -- The volume of small international parcels entering the U.S. and the EU fell significantly since tariff exemptions for such shipments were ended, according to a report Friday from a U.N. body that coordinates global postal policies.
万国邮政联盟的报告显示，2025年9月——即美国废除“最低限度规则”一个月后——进入美国的小包裹吨位较去年同期下降了70.3%。
The Universal Postal Union report showed that in September 2025 -- a month after the U.S. abolished its "de minimis rule" -- small parcel tonnage going into the U.S. had decreased 70.3% compared to the same month a year earlier.
德国、日本、瑞士等国邮政运营商暂停向美国发运包裹，加剧了这一跌势。最低限度规则曾豁免价值800美元以下进口商品的关税。
The decline was exacerbated by postal operators in Germany, Japan, Switzerland and other countries suspending shipments to the U.S. The de minimis rule exempted imports worth under $800 from duties.
除了遏制非法毒品进口外，取消最低限度豁免还旨在限制Temu和Shein等与中国有关联的在线零售商向美国消费者销售商品。
In addition to curbing imports of illegal drugs, the end of de minimis exceptions was aimed at limiting China-linked online retailers such as Temu and Shein from selling to U.S. consumers.
最初，关税仅针对来自中国和香港的包裹征收，随后豁免政策在全球范围内被废除，以增加关税收入。
Initially, tariffs were applied to packages from China and Hong Kong, but then the exceptions were abolished globally to increase revenue from the levies.
今年7月1日，欧盟也取消了来自欧盟外部、价值低于150欧元（按当前汇率约合168美元）包裹的关税豁免，并征收每件3欧元的税费。当月发往欧盟的包裹发运量下降了31.0%。
On July 1 this year, the EU also abolished tariff exemptions for packages from outside the bloc worth less than 150 euros ($168 at current rates), and introduced a 3-euro levy per item. Parcel shipments to the EU fell by 31.0% that same month.
报告指出，欧盟的这一变化“早有预兆，不同于美国的冲击式政策”，给了运营商调整费率和路线的时间，因此发往欧盟的货运吨位跌幅没有那么陡峭。
The EU change was "visible well in advance, unlike the U.S. shock," according to the report, giving operators time to revise rates and routes, which is why tonnage shipped to the bloc did not fall as sharply.
报告附带的新闻稿指出：“鉴于该行业目前高度交织的状态，一个国家或地区的贸易政策变化如今几乎会实时影响全球所有运营商。尽管已有可用于抵消宏观变化的信息，但该行业仍缺乏协调一致的方法，难以实现敏捷决策。”报告估计，决策缓慢所导致的邮件量减少和配送延误，使全球邮政运营商合计蒙受每年708亿美元的损失。
"Given the sector's current intertwined state, trade policy change in one country or region now impacts every operator globally, almost in real time," according to a news release accompanying the report. "While information needed to offset macro changes is available, the sector lacks a coordinated approach to enable agile decision making." Reduced mail volume and delivery delays stemming from slow decision-making resulted in a combined annual loss of $70.8 billion for postal operators worldwide, the report estimates.
邮政工会正加紧开发由人工智能支持的统一数据平台，通过实时收集和分析全球邮政数据，以支持快速决策。该工会已开发出平台原型，并计划到2029年实现实际应用。
The postal union is hurrying to develop its own AI-backed unified data platform to support rapid decision-making by collecting and analyzing global postal data in real time. The union has developed a platform prototype and aims for practical implementation by 2029.
