As we are sure that you will agree, the recent USA Tariffs situation has left the world confused and confounded. Whilst our business will be impacted, the positive news is that not all of our customers will be affected. As of 14 April 2025, all orders below US $800.00 will incur no change at all to the import procedures and costs that have existed for the past several years. The new tariffs only take effect on orders from $801.00 upwards, where there is now a baseline tariff of 10%. Fortunately for you, all single items on our website fall well below this amount. However, for orders totalling more than $801.00 the situation and our remedial response is summarized below (for a more detailed explanation, see our General Manager’s letter linked above):
With immediate effect, orders from $801.00 onwards “Baseline Universal Tariff” will now add an additional 10% to what you would have paid before the new scheme came into effect. Our understanding as it is today (14th April 2025) is that any country Specific Tariffs will be paused for the next 3 months apart from China and Hong Kong imports.
