Important Update for Our U.S. Customers
The White House issued an Executive Order suspending the de minimis tariff exemption starting August 29, 2025.What’s changing?
  • The U.S. is ending the “de minimis” rule (the old $800 duty-free loophole).
  • Shipments valued at $800 USD or less will no longer qualify for duty-free entry.
  • This means all shipments into the U.S. may now be subject to duties/taxes, regardless of the order cost.
  • Some carriers are also adjusting their services, which may cause delays.
Will this affect my order?
  • Possibly. Shipments may be subject to duties, taxes, and brokerage fees, regardless of the order’s value or origin country.
  • Shipping times may be impacted due to customs processing.
  • All orders shipping to the U.S. will now go through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
  • For goods eligible under CUSMA/USMCA, proper paperwork will need to accompany the shipment.
What are we doing about it?
We’re working closely with our carriers to keep shipments moving as smoothly as possible. We’ll update you if there are any major changes. Your orders may take a little extra time crossing the border.TL;DR: U.S. customs is changing the rules. Some orders may face duties, and shipping may slow down a bit.
