Following a directive from the US government from 29th August 2025, all goods entering the USA now have taxes applied, the previous de minimis of below $800 no longer applies. From 29 August, it will be up to the sending country/provider to collect the taxes from the receiving customer in the USA before any goods can enter and be delivered in the USA. Taxes of the country of origin(Ireland) to the USA will have duties 15% and taxes(VAT) applied to the item plus An Post facilitation fee $10.51. These fees will have to be paid by the receiving customer in the USA before it can be delivered. An Post now asks that the recipient email is provided as a mandatory field. An Post International Logistics Partner will contact the USA recipient via email and request payment of taxes, along with the facilitation fee. A time frame of 5 calendar days applies for the customer to pay. Once paid, the eCommerce parcel will be delivered to the USA. If not paid, the item will be returned to the sending customer. No credit will be due to the sending customer.

I will contact any customer in the USA who purchases from my website. If I don't hear back within 3 working days (my processing time) I will have to cancel and refund the order.
