President Trump instigated new import rules for US residents that took effect on August 29th 2025.
Previously there had been a deminimus value of $800 below which US residents did not pay any import or customs duties. That deminimus has been abolished and all purchases from the UK into America are now subject to a minimum 10% tariff plus a handling fee.
Our website has been updated to include prepaid customs duties and charges for our American customers that are included in the shipping cost at the time that you place your order. The amount due is automatically calculated at checkout and varies according to the value of products in your basket.
The custom charge is 10% of the value of goods in your basket.
Handling/admin fee is £1 per shipment.
Shipping/P&P charges are £17 per parcel.
These are US import duties imposed by President Trump on American residents that need to be paid to US Customs and Border Protection as each parcel reaches US customs. Parcels that have not had their customs duties prepaid could be subject to a $100 - $200 surcharge. Our carriers automatically apply these charges to us including admin fees at the point of shipping. We also pay credit card and PayPal commission on these additional charges at the point that you place your order.
We apologise for this inconvenience.
