The business-to-consumer operations of DHL Express announced its worldwide shipments recovery for American individual customers who buy things worth more than USD 800. On Monday the company confirmed the restart of USD 800 material shipments because of U.S. authority dialogue results.

The April 21st suspension of worldwide business-to-consumer shipments operated by DHL emerged because the company needed to obey both U.S. customs regulations that stated formal entry processing must occur for all deliveries greater than USD 800 in value. The new regulation modified this threshold to USD 2,500 but the authorities implemented another change when they lowered this threshold to USD 800 on April 5th.
