US Tariffs

On 30^th 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 29^th August, goods, regardless of value, may now be subject to import tariffs (duties). These duties must be paid by UK senders before being posted.

I have no other option than to pass on this tariff charge to US consumers. However I will absorb the handling fee.

This isnt something any of us small business wanted. We do a lot of trade with the USA and often buy just as much US goods as we export. Infact the UK imports more goods from the USA than the USA imports from the UK. So this move is really disapointing and its just going to hurt the consumer.

I'm looking at ways I can make it cheaper for people in the US, such as different shipping options and having a US distributor.
