Taipei: Taiwan's postal service said on Monday it will suspend accepting and delivering commercial items to the United States, due to the country's order to terminate the global "de minimis" exemption, a rule exempting low-value items from customs duties.

Chunghwa Post made the announcement in a statement on its website.
