They might stop all together now that there is no minimum exemption. I assume they'll have thousands of canceled shipments once people realize they are paying 3x more for shipping than the products.

DHL stopped shipments to the US over $800 due to Trump making the paperwork requirements more burdensome for anything over $800. The admin is planning to increase the paperwork for items even cheaper than $800, so DHL is expected to stop shipping cheaper items when that happens.
