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 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.
