Our Shop will no longer have available for sale our exclusive collection of unique Artistic Creations sourced from Print Providers outside of the US.

Many of our Print Providers are not located in the US. Many of our creations are sourced globally. Due to the Trumps Tariffs, and the Ending of US De Minimis Exemption, our costs of doing business and shipping costs has dramatically increased. In some cases, the shipping cost are more than the product. This is not a sustainable situation and with so much uncertainty in today’s economy, we have decided to no longer offer our exclusive collection of creations sourced from Print Providers outside the US.

The End of US De Minimis Exemption: Preparing for New Rules on Low-Value Shipments

From 29th August 2025, new customs rules take effect ending the de minimis exemption for low-value shipments. Packages worth less than US$800 will face the same duties and customs entry requirements as larger shipments. For ecommerce sellers and merchants targeting US consumers, these changes mark a major shift.

From August 29, US-bound packages will only be allowed entry if the correct duty is paid. Merchants using commercial couriers need to calculate, collect, and pay duties for each shipment and show US buyers the full landed cost—including duties—at checkout.

If Using the Postal Service

Transitional rules apply until February 28, 2026. Many postal operators lack tools to calculate US duty and will levy a temporary flat charge ($80, $160, or $200 per item, varying by country origin). Check with your national postal service. Some have suspended US-bound shipments during the transition.

If Using a Commercial Courier

Commercial couriers do not benefit from transitional rates and must collect duties by product category and origin. Many offer online duty calculators. Some carriers have also temporarily suspended US deliveries while updating compliance systems.
