Congressman James Moylan said mail services to and from Guam remain largely stable as federal agencies implement Executive Order 14324, issued by President Donald Trump, which suspends the duty-free de minimis exemption for packages under $800. The exemption had previously allowed such packages to enter the U.S. without duties or additional customs paperwork.
According to Moylan, all types of U.S. Postal Service mail continue to arrive on Guam from the mainland, while letters and flats — mail without goods — are still being sent from the island to the continental U.S. However, some outgoing packages containing goods remain on hold as USPS and Customs and Border Protection finalize compliance procedures under the new directive.
“Our office is tracking this issue closely and in regular contact with USPS and federal partners,” Moylan said in a statement. “Mail services remain stable, and most day-to-day delivery continues as usual. We are making sure Guam’s needs are fully considered as agencies work through this process.”
The congressman stressed the importance of timely mail delivery for veterans, families and businesses on the island. He pledged to provide further updates to the community as new information becomes available.
