Update: U.S. Tariff & Shipping Information

Important Update on U.S. Tariffs

We understand recent tariff changes may cause concern. Here is the latest information we’ve gathered:

• Starting May 2, the U.S. will cancel the $800 de minimis exemption for T86 low-value parcels.

• A 125% tariff may be applied to affected imports from May 2 onward.

Our Response:

• Orders Placed Before April 18th: All orders placed prior to April 18th will be processed and shipped according to our previous policies without any changes.

• Updated Shipping Policy for Orders Placed On or After April 18th:

  • The threshold for free standard shipping will be adjusted from $49.99 USD to $99.99 USD. Orders totaling less than $99.99 USD will be subject to a flat shipping fee of $9.99 USD per order.
    
    
  • The introductory free shipping offer for new customers within the United States will be revised. New customers will now receive 50% off the shipping cost on their first order, resulting in a shipping charge of only $4.99 USD for their initial purchase.
    
    
  • New Customer Discount Code: firstorder
    
    

  • Customer Responsibility for Tariffs on Orders Placed On or After April 18th: Please note that for all orders placed on or after April 18th, any applicable customs duties, tariffs, or import taxes will be the sole responsibility of the customer. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause and are committed to minimizing any potential impact.

  • Our Ongoing Efforts to Improve Shipping Options: We are actively exploring and working diligently to identify alternative shipping solutions, including options that would allow for the prepayment of duties. Our goal is to eventually offer a transparent checkout process where the final price displayed includes all applicable costs, eliminating the need for you to pay additional tariffs upon delivery. We will provide updates on our progress in this area as soon as they become available.
