Another update on US shipping & taxes...the saga continued.
With the recent U.S. tariff changes and the removal of the de minimis exemption, we’ve become unintentional experts in import tax law—mostly because nothing seemed to make sense.
Last month, we were excited to announce our partnership with Teleship. Today, however, the landscape has shifted yet again. The math just wouldn’t math, and it was driving us mad. So, we kept digging.
We were seeing nearly a 30% price difference between Royal Mail and Teleship/couriers, and everyone was bending over backwards trying to square that circle. But it still didn’t add up… until we uncovered what was really happening.
The tax is two-fold. Here’s what we found:
Firstly, there’s the 10% tariff applied under the Trump administration’s rules for UK imports.
On top of that, there’s a 27.6% MFN tariff (Most Favored Nation), a WTO “equalizing” tax that feels like it was invented on a Tuesday afternoon…
And the wild part?
👉 Royal Mail simply doesn’t charge the 27.6% MFN tariff.
We know — it’s baffling. But we’ve verified it multiple times.
So, a nearly 30% savings on government-imposed taxes feels like a pretty compelling reason to favor Royal Mail for our US shipping moving forward.
We’ll still offer express shipping options (48/72 hours) for those who prefer speed over savings — just please be aware that the total cost for express shipping will be significantly higher due to these tariffs.
We are currently exploring the option of shipping with UPS using the Duties Paid upfront (DDP) method so we can extend our discounts to you. For some reason, when we pay the duties in advance, UPS waives their usual $20 admin fee — so this could be a valuable improvement for everyone.
We’ve just begun looking into this and expect another treasure hunt ahead, but we’ll keep you updated as we make progress!
We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of our brand-new sister webstore IRON EAGLE PRO SHORTS dedicated to our board shorts. Swing by PROSHORTS.UK and treat yourself to premium gear at a seriously sweet price!
Of course our shorts will remain available on posingtrunk.com as well!.
