This will never happen.

Just think about it for a second. Do you know how much freight comes into this country every day?

I guess I could see them banning them from all commercial flights but there would still be stuff coming in on cargo planes.

From reading the article's it looks like these are just temporary measures they are looking at right now, and only Japan Post and a small number of other companies are complying.

The TSA is not demanding it. Fedex, UPS and DHL are all business as usual.

No shit! This policy sounds like it was dreamed up by some low-rent bureaucrat with about a 7th grade education.

 Quoting: maryjaneshusband

I totally agree that it seem impossible for them to do this in a widespread manner and enforce it without causing a total collapse of commerce here in America. Now that I have said that, remember that their goal is to bring America down and you, like me, might fear they would just do it.

I thought GLP took pride in being first to break news like this. This story will be very big when the right people get wind of it. I believe that it seems like the response "they can't do that" is prevalent after reading about this.

How long until they force DHL/Fed Ex and such comply? Will there be another "incident" to seal the deal and push this through world wide?

Hahahahahahahaha!

I love it!

Serves you fuckers right!

How many of you realize that MOST US COMPANIES AND ONLINE STORES WILL NOT SHIP ANYTHING TO A NON-US ADDRESS?

In other words, 'foreigners' are totally excluded from most US shopping.

In this way US business (with a few exceptions such as Amazon) deliberately prevents over 6 billion foreigners from shopping in the States, and this despite your staggering trade deficit.

So you can no longer get parcels from Japan?

boo fucking hoo

Over the years there have been HUNDREDS of items I haven't been able to order from the States that aren't available here.

Hold on a sec while I go get my violin.

That one article said that Fed Ex/DHL and such haven't complied yet. The key word is yet.

It will be interesting to see them attempt to roll this out in lots of other countries.

The other thing to remember is that there is an exemption for mega corps etc. that are registered I guess. It will hurt small commerce and individuals. Goodbye ebay purchases from abroad.
 Quoting: Old Money


Maybe Fed Ex/DHL/UPS will merely ship the package by air to Canada or Mexico, truck it over, and then put it back on a plane.

If Fed Ex/DHL/UPS can't handle an air package over a pound to the US by air then their extensive air fleets that are dedicated to air freight coming into the US, particularly from Asia, will have to be grounded.

Things you never think about are shipped into the US mostly by air. This includes virtually all laptop computers, most video cameras, and most digital cameras (and of course the list is much longer than that).

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next week ... but I am sure Fed Ex and UPS in particular will be screaming bloody murder if they can't fly any packages over a pound into the US.
