Plaskett | P000610 | plaskett.house.gov | plaskett | https://plaskett.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | U.S. Virgin Islands —The Congresswoman’s office received word of numerous complaints regarding private delivery package service delays in the territory, particularly St. John, and met with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers this week. CBP officials shared that the delays are not related to recently imposed tariffs by the Trump administration, customs taxing or new processing procedures, but related to findings produced by an audit initiated by CBP. This now requires incoming shipments to be cleared by CBP prior to delivery. The audit found companies like DHL UPS and FedEx had not been clearing their entire shipments. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |
