I'm in Canada - UPS recently very strongly advised me not to send a package to the US (warranty repair item). Said high risk of large tarrif (30-50%) or the package becoming "lost". Pretty bad if UPS willing to turn down business.
Another option is to send the package to China. Vendor prefers to use DHL - but all DHL packages from Canada go through the US first, apparently. With all the craziness, I'm not willing to risk it. 
I posted a letter to USA on 1st Aug..
Got to Customs in New York 4th Aug.
Still there 19 days later.
RIP USA.
@nlskies @GottaLaff my lawyer essentially told me the same thing. due to my job I have clients all over the place and I've gradually started terminating contracts and stopping work for US based clients. Moved all my data off US servers. I won't even send any files to remaining clients in the US. Stuff I would have to send via mail was told to not even bother as again it'll likely get "intercepted" I was told or "lost".
Same in Europe...
