#3I’m guessing a lot of customers are being tardy in paying tariffs, leaving DHL to deal with packages that won’t clear customs. Probably a much bigger issue for B2C shipments than B2B shipments.

#4Wouldn’t be surprised if UPS and FedEx follow suit. The frequently shifting tariff silliness is forcing companies to sit things out.

#5How does a home-based business demonstrate their business bona fides here? Having a business account with DHL? Having a business name?

Nothing to do with tariffs, which is clear in the first paragraph:
Effective April 5, 2025, all shipments to the U.S. with a declared customs value over USD 800 require formal entry processing - down from the previous USD 2,500 threshold due to new U.S. Customs regulations.

I mean, how often is it really necessary for an ordinary consumer to directly import stuff?
The last time I imported from an overseas order, I was enthralled by a hot blonde Irish singer and buying all her CDs, but most of them were also on eBay from American sellers who already did the messy work of importing goods.

You have to satisfy the business requirement, which may be pretty easy to do. I am not sure. Just indicate it's for your side hustle business.
