US Duties and Tariff Guide

Orders Under $800 USD

As of August 29, 2025, the U.S. has removed the De Minimis exemption. Orders under $800 are no longer duty-free. All products are now subject to their standard import duties, tariffs, and customs processing. Although the flat rate 35% IEEPA tariff got struck down, products are still subject to their MFN base rate, section 232 and 301.

This duty must be collected at the time of purchase, before we can ship your order. We're actively working on a solution to make this process as seamless as possible for our U.S. customers. Currently we are reaching out after the purchase is made to collect the additional duties.

Aluminum and Steel Tariffs

Under Section 232, products made from steel or aluminum may be subject to additional tariffs of up to 50%. These tariffs apply regardless of country of origin and are separate from standard import duties.

Products made primarily from other materials with minimal steel or aluminum content are generally exempt, but classification is not always clear.

Additionally, under section 301, any product manufactured in China is subject to an additional 25% tariff. This does not affect products from Taiwan.

We understand this isn't the news anyone wants to hear, but we're here to help you navigate these changes. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out!
