🇺🇸 Important Information for US Customers

Starting August 29, 2025, the United States government is changing its import rules.

🎵 Music Media (No Tariffs)

• Vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, books, and sheet music are classified as “informational media” and remain duty-free.

• If your order only contains these items, no customs duties apply.

👕 Apparel & Merchandise (Tariffs Apply)

• T-shirts, hoodies, hats, totes, posters, and other merchandise are now subject to US import duties.

• A minimum duty of 15% applies to the total value of these goods.

• If the official duty rate of a product is higher, that higher rate will apply.

• DHL Express may also charge a small clearance/handling fee upon delivery.

• Duties and fees are collected directly by US Customs/DHL when your order arrives.

📦 What this means for you

• Music-only orders (vinyl, CDs, tapes, books) → No customs duties.

• Merch orders (apparel & accessories) → Duties + clearance fees will apply.

• Duties and fees are calculated on the total order value, not on each item separately.

💡 Examples (Apparel Orders)

• 1 T-shirt ($33):

  • Duty (15%): ~$5

  • Shipping: $24

  • Clearance fee: ~$12

  • Total ≈ $74

• 5 T-shirts ($165):

  • Duty (15%): ~$25

  • Shipping: $24

  • Clearance fee: ~$12

  • Total ≈ $226 (≈$45 per item on average)

• 10 T-shirts ($330):

  • Duty (15%): ~$50

  • Shipping: $24

  • Clearance fee: ~$12

  • Total ≈ $416 (≈$42 per item on average)

✅ Our Advice

• If you’re in the US and ordering apparel, we recommend combining items into larger orders to reduce the average cost per product.

• If you’re ordering vinyl or CDs only, your order remains duty-free.
