DHL: German postal service to suspend transport of business parcels to US

(DHL corrects date to after August 25, not August 22)

DUSSELDORF (Reuters) - DHL, which runs Germany’s postal service Deutsche Post (OTC:DHLGY), said it will suspend acceptance and transport of parcels and postal items containing goods from business customers destined for the United States after August 25.

"The reason for these likely temporary restrictions is new processes required by U.S. authorities for postal shipping, which differ from the previously applicable regulations," it said in a statement on Friday.
