⚠️ Important Update: U.S. Tariffs
Effective May 2, 2025
What You Need to Know:
Due to updated U.S. Customs policies, some goods imported into United States may now be subject to import tariffs—up to 30%—even on low-value shipments.
Depending on the product, some or all of the product may have been originally manufactured outside of the USA including China, Canada, etc.
? Example Breakdown
Product Ordered:
20 Custom Coffee Mugs
Product Value:$75 USD
Shipping Cost: $125 USD
Total Customs Invoice: $200 USD
We Sell To You For: $279 USD
How Tariffs Are Calculated:
✅ Tariff applies to product value only ($75)
❌ Tariff does not apply to shipping costs
30% tariff on $75 = $22.50 typically collected by the courier (FedEx/UPS/DHL) at delivery.
$22.50 is around 8% of $279.
Your total tariff rate will be 8% in this example
*The couriers may add additional processing fees.
? Who Pays the Tariff?
The U.S. buyer/importer (you) is responsible for any duties, taxes, or tariffs charged by U.S. Customs.
These fees are collected directly by the courier, not by us.
? Why This Is Happening
The U.S. has revised tariff regulations targeting goods of Chinese origin, even for shipments under $800 USD.
Many couriers, including DHL, FedEx, and UPS, are now complying with this enforcement.
