U.S. Shipping Update
Australia Post has temporarily suspended shipments to the U.S. while they update their systems in response to new U.S. government tariff changes.
For the moment, all U.S. orders placed after August 26, 2025 can only be shipped via DHL Express. This service avoids the flat US $80–200 postal surcharge that applies to international parcels entering the U.S. through postal handovers (such as Australia Post → USPS, Royal Mail → USPS, etc.). Please note, however, that U.S. Customs will still add duties and taxes on arrival.
📦 Estimated Duties & Fees
U.S. Customs duties vary by fabric type:
| Fabric Type | Approx. Duty Rate | Example on US $200 Order | + DHL Admin Fee | Total Estimated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silk apparel | 7.5% | US $15 | US $15 | ≈ US $30 |
| Polyester apparel | 25–30% | US $60 | US $15 | ≈ US $75 |
These charges are set and collected by U.S. Customs. DHL will invoice duties directly before delivery.
We are actively working towards a long-term solution to make U.S. shipping more affordable and streamlined.
Thank you for your patience and support while we navigate these new tariff changes.
