Since the tariffs came into effect in May, 2025, our shipments to USA have been clearing customs under PAPS and not de minimis. As such, the recent ending of de minimis has no effect on our operations.
We ship all of our US orders via DDP (Delivered Duty Free), so you won't have to process any paperwork or pay any extra upon delivery. More details in the link.
