Notice: Upcoming Changes to U.S. Tariff Policies for Shipments

📦 Important Shipping Update for U.S. Customers 

Due to a recent White House announcement, starting May 2, 2025, packages from China and Hong Kong valued under $800 will no longer be duty-free.

🧾 From May 2, under the current clearance channel, packages will face a 120% tariff or a minimum of $100 per package — this minimum will rise to $200 per package from June 1.
For other customs clearance methods, tariffs may be even higher, ranging from 104% to 245%.

📌 

Although the new U.S. tariff policy is officially set to take effect on May 2, shipments will take several days to reach U.S. customs. To minimize the risk of unexpected charges, we have decided to pause all U.S.-bound shipments starting April 20 (Beijing Time).

At this time, the exact tariff amount and how it will be applied remain unclear. To protect our customers from unexpected duties, delays, or even customs holds, we will suspend U.S. shipping until the new policy is fully clarified and a stable solution is in place.

Due to the current uncertainty and confusion surrounding customs procedures, there is also a high likelihood that packages sent after April 20 may face serious delays at U.S. customs, including extended inspection times. This is another reason we’ve chosen to temporarily stop U.S. shipments from April 20.

🛑 From now U.S. customers will no longer be able to place new orders on our website.
✅ All U.S. orders placed before April 20 will be shipped as usual and remain duty-free under the current policy.

📢 U.S. customs regulations are changing frequently, and we’ll keep monitoring updates closely. If you need help with order planning or have any questions, feel free to reach out 💌

We appreciate your patience and thanks always for your support 🤍
