New Regulation – Effective August 29, 2025
The U.S. government has suspended the de minimis exemption for international shipments. This means that all commercial imports—including those valued at $800 or less—are now subject to duties and taxes.
Good News! ✨
Despite what you may have heard in the news, our service to the U.S. is not interrupted. Our trusted shipping partner, FedEx, continues to deliver smoothly—with no delays. In fact, in most cases, your order arrives the very next day! ?
The only change (unfortunately!) is that import fees and duties now need to be paid. But here’s the silver lining: even with these additional costs, we remain a much cheaper alternative compared to local options.

The average customs fee we see—based on customer feedback—ranges from 7% to 12% of your order value. For example, on a USD 100 order, the fee is typically USD 7–12, invoiced directly by FedEx.
Please note this is an estimate: actual fees vary by item, and we can’t guarantee or assume responsibility for the final amount.
