US Tariff Charges from 12 May 2025
Hello to our lovely US label lovers 🥰
Times are a-changing and we wanted to keep you informed of the current tariff cost increases with any shipment with 'Made in China' products being imported into the USA.
As you know, all of our products are manufactured in China and the US government has abolished the de minimis exception as of 5 May 2025. Please read through the updates below prior to purchasing.
Key points to note:
Latest Updates as per 12 May 2025
The 90-day pause will come into effect from Wednesday 14 May, with the US reducing tariffs on China to 30%, down from 145%.
Updates as per 5 May 2025
|
◦ As of 5 May 2025, the International Mail Advisory Group (IMAG) has shared that all Chinese and Hong Kong-manufactured goods entering the US using Australia Post’s postal services, regardless of their value, will be subject to a formal clearance process, and a tariff of 145%. This includes items less than US$800 that were previously under the de minimis threshold. |
|
◦ It is anticipated that there may be delays in clearance processing for items sent to the US due to the implementation of these new processes. |
|
◦ US Customs & Border Protection (CBP) has advised that they will not collect tariffs and fees at delivery and senders will not be charged tariffs. As part of the formal clearance process, the recipient will receive a letter from US CBP within 30 days, informing them to appoint a customs broker and to pay duties and taxes. The letter will include a link to the US CBP website and provide instructions. |
|
◦ Goods manufactured in other countries and being imported into the US will also be subject to their respective tariff amounts. Please refer to the list published on The White House website for more information. These customs taxes will be payable by the recipient. |
We also encourage you to shop local for our products and support your neighbouring small businesses 💖
