U.S. Tariffs - Important Customer Information

22nd September - U.S. Tariffs

SHIPPING TO THE U.S. HAS RESUMED!! 🎉

Australia Post has partnered Zonos, a 3rd party shipping service provider who will be collecting and paying the tariffs to the U.S. government

Please read the following which includes important information in regards to tariff collection.

To recap:

  • As of 29th August 2025, the U.S. government placed tariffs on all items entering the United States (the $800.00 de minimis threshold has been removed)
  • U.S. customers are now required to pay the tariffs by order of the U.S. government
  • Tariff % depends on country of origin

  • USPS does not have the capacity to collect the tariffs at this stage, so the U.S. government has imposed the responsibility on us as individual sellers to collect on their behalf

The changes you will notice:

  • The tariff for Australia is 10% which will be applied to most of our products, however, some of our items are manufactured in China and tariff on those products is up to 30% (tariff % is determined by the U.S. government)
  • NEW - when you reach checkout, you will see additional line items showing the duties/ tariff value for your order which will be added to the final total

Example:

  • Once you have placed your order, requirements have been met and you will not incur any further duties or taxes
  • After extensive investigation, collecting tariffs via this manner instead of adding to our product prices is the best current option as it is the clearest and most clarified for declaration requirements and documentation.  We do not want you to face any further charges or customs struggles.
  • The tariffs collected through orders are paid by us to Australia Post / shipping provider, who then pay the U.S. government - we do not control, implement, profit from or retain any monies associated to the tariff requirement

⭐️ Additionally, Zonos charges a handling fee + a % of the tariffs to carry out their service for us  - this has been calculated at an average of AUD $4.00 per parcel (really depends on value of the order however we have estimated at the lower end) - and we have made the decision to absorb this cost as a supportive gesture to you.

We know that none of this is super duper, but hope that our information helps and that you are happy to have the choice to shop with us again - we really look forward to continuing to ship to the U.S. and look forward to a happy future with you :)

Thank you so very much for all your support, a lot of you have been with us for a long time and for that we are incredibly grateful - we appreciate you all enormously! ❤️
