The US Stop Act, in effect as of March 15, 2021, was developed to reduce the number of illegal drugs coming into the USA. This may, however, affect your E-Commerce Parcel business causing delays and disruptions in the USPS.

 

The new Synthetics Trafficking & Overdose Prevention (STOP) went into full effect on March 15th, 2021. These new regulations were designed to reduce illegal drug traffic into the USA. Experts predict significant delays in processing and many returned parcels once the act is in full effect. IBC can help your E-Commerce businesses and minimize the impact of the new regulations by bringing your parcels via Express channels rather than through traditional postal services.

The new STOP Act will require overseas mailers using the USPS system to provide advance electronic data (AED) before parcels enter the United States. If you are not ready for the new regulations put in place by the STOP Act, IBC’s Express service can help! This data requirement has been in place for packages arriving the US via carriers and private logistics providers like IBC. IBC has been transmitting advanced data via Automated Manifest System (AMS), now ACE, since 2004.

For many E-Commerce businesses transporting goods to the US, submitting the proper paperwork and clearing US Customs can be tedious and time consuming.
