Package made it to US shores and then was stuck for a couple of weeks. Just got word that there was an import documentation problem. Package on the way back to me. So basically, a big fail. I strongly suspect it has to do with how the items are described in the customs forms. The old descriptions that worked flawlessly before don't seem to work flawlessly anymore.

There are about 90 countries that have stopped shipping to the US due to the de minimis rule. Although my understanding is anything under $100 is exempt. I have a UK passport stuck in shipment which isnt supposed to be held up. Total cluster. Also have tried to do some medical things in the US and gave up on that as well and flew to Toronto. Cant wait to get back to SE Asia. Im finding Cambodia and Thailand to be more efficient. Never would of thought that in a million years.
