On 30th July 2025, the United States Government announced an Executive Order which outlined significant changes to the customs requirements and processes for goods being imported into the USA from 29th August 2025. These changes affect goods entering the USA from any country in the world, including the UK.

Removal of duty-free for low value items – previously, items valued at less than $800 could enter the USA without having to pay customs duties. That’s changing and from 29th August, goods, regardless of value, may now be subject to import tariffs (duties). These duties must be paid by UK senders before items enter their network.

We have therefore unfortunately had to add this cost onto the shipping charges to USA. We apologise to our American customers but these charges are out of our control.
