Postal service to the U.S. set to return
Cayman’s postal service is taking a phased approach to resuming service to the United States.
Express mail should be up and running by 19 September, but residents will pay estimated tariffs, a processing fee and a refundable deposit in addition to the regular postage.

Cayman post offices likely to resume US-bound parcels this week
The Cayman Islands Postal Service expects to resume sending parcels and registered mail to the United States from later this week.
Late last month, the postal service halted delivery of all mail to the US, and although it is now accepting letters and other documents to send to the US, no other any items can yet be sent via the mail.
The halt on goods being posted from Cayman, and many other countries worldwide, to the US came after an executive order issued by President Donald Trump came into effect on 29 Aug. That order eliminated a longstanding ‘de minimis’ exemption that applied to all packages valued at less than US$800 entering the US duty free. The exemption now only applies to items worth under $100.
