You claimed Swiss post will continue to accept gift packages over $100, contrary to their press release.

Several people have explained that you are incorrect — Swiss and others are not accepting gift parcels over $100.

You then changed tack and said Swiss Post etc have the law wrong.

So what to you? It doesn't matter what details and uncertainties are in the law, it's resulted in most European countries setting a $100 limit, and at least Finland has suspended delivery entirely (even letters).

I literally just quoted the statement, which was explicit that the change involved “goods consignments”. They are continuing to accept mail, in general, and are continuing to accept goods consignments via another service.

In other posts I showed you that there’s no change to US policy for personal exemption.

Neither fact is in tension with the other.
