TL:DR:
Until the announced new US tariffs are in place,
US customers can order about 18% cheaper again.
We suggest to not wait.
What happened
The US Customs and Border Protection has announces that it is ending the collection of the Orange Man’s „International Emergency Economic Powers Act Duties“.
As a result, we have paused collecting the pre-paid US tariffs for EU businesses in our checkout process.
What will happen
The US president has already announced new 10% tariffs for 180 days.
A day later he changed his mind to 15%.
We are keeping the technical infrastructure in place and are keeping an eye on the situation as it develops.
Update
…and they are back. Message from US Border Protection that de minimus is suspended again and they charge 10%. The announced 15% will surely follow in a day or two.
So we need to charge 18% to pay for the 15% and fees again.
Since raising the price to cover the 15% also raises the value these 15% are calculated on,
Together with mandatory handling fees including a percentage for a „trusted party“ DHL uses in the ZS, we end up at 18%.
