Quick Summary
US Duty Changes – What You Need to Know
- What’s happening?
From 29 August 2025, all orders shipped to the USA are subject to new import duty rules.
- What are the options?
- A flat $80 duty on all orders under $800 (even a $40 order).
- A 10% duty on the total order value (including shipping).
- What are we doing?
We are working hard to implement option 2 – the fairer 10% duty rate – so you don’t overpay.
- How will it work?
During the checkout process you will see that there is a line in the cart as shown below that adds 10% to the product fees. This is the duty amount that we are required to charge to cover the duty import fees. We will then book your shipment in using a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) delivery service, we effectively give your 10% fee to the shipping company to pass onto the US Customs Dept to cover the import fees.
