We love sending our products across the Atlantic to you; it’s a joy to share a little piece of our Scottish craftsmanship with you. However, recent changes to postal services, tariffs, and import rules between the UK and the United States mean we’ve had to make some difficult decisions about shipping.
What’s Changing
Due to new US duties and state taxes, parcels sent from the UK are now subject to significant additional costs upon arrival in the US. These changes are outside of our control, and unfortunately, they mean:
-
We are no longer able to offer our standard service to the USA as before.
-
Any orders shipped to the US will now incur import duties of a flat rate of $80 (USD), plus any local state taxes.
-
These charges are payable on delivery directly to USPS or the courier handling your order.
Why This Matters
We know that unexpected fees can be frustrating, and we don’t want our US customers to face surprises when their order arrives. That’s why we’re being transparent about the extra costs upfront.
For many, these new duties and taxes make it harder to justify international shipping, and we completely understand if you choose not to go ahead with an order at this time.
Still Want to Order?
From August 29th 2025, If you’d still like to purchase from us, we’re more than happy to arrange your order, just keep in mind:
-
$80 in US import duties will be applied on delivery by USPS or courier
-
Local state taxes may also apply
-
Payment is due on delivery to USPS or our courier partner
- Delays in shipping are to be expected as these new rules are implemented
We recommend checking your local state’s import rules before placing your order, so you know exactly what to expect.
Please note this situation is temporary til 28th February 2026, where by 10% tariffs will supercede the fixed fee.
Thank you for your support
We want to take this moment to thank our US customers for your incredible support over the years. You’ve helped our small Scottish business reach across oceans, and that means the world to us. We hope that future changes will allow us to offer a simpler, more affordable service to you again.
