US De Minimis Tax Free Exemption Removal

Updated 22nd August - please see full details of upcoming changes below

All prices for the US are now increased to accommodate duties and taxes - there is nothing further for you to do or pay for on arrival. Orders will be shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

We are absorbing part of the increased cost ourselves for the time being, as information provided about the exact rates that will be applied is frequently changing. We are anticipating a lot of short term changes, upheaval and delays as border officials begin this massive change.

On July 30th it was announced the $800 duty-free exemption for receiving small packages (known as de minimis) is being removed for all items arriving in the US from all countries two years earlier than originally stated -  on August 29th.

This means that all orders arriving in the US after this date will have duty and taxes applied to them, no matter how small. 

We have been busy working behind the scenes to find the best solution for you all, especially with the short notice nature of this change.
 
After August 29th, we will be shipping all US orders Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). This will mean no surprise fees for you when you receive your package - just the price you pay when you place your order, and that's it.
