Dear US Quilters,
We want to share an important update that may affect your future orders from our workshop in Victoria, Australia.
Starting August 29, 2025, the U.S. government will remove the de minimis exemption, which previously allowed parcels valued under $800 USD to enter duty-free. This means all international parcels, including ours, will now be subject to import tariffs upon arrival in the U.S.
Our handcrafted quilting items typically range from $67 to $120 USD, and under the new rules, U.S. Customs may apply either:
We understand this is a significant change and we’re doing everything we can to minimize the impact. Hopefully, by the 29th August, this will be clarified! We don’t want our customers hit with a $80 flat fee when it could be just 10%, or cancelled altogether?
What This Means for You if we continued without clarification:
What We're Doing:
We remain committed to offering our Australian-made quilting products directly to you without middlemen, inflated prices, or compromise. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Warm regards, Norma and Edward Grimmer Crowlands, Victoria, Australia
