New USA tariffs hit customers!

vworpvworp.co.uk, in light of recent USA tariff announcements, has decided to suspend shipment to American customers.

As widely reported, new US Tariffs, which are 10% for UK, have to be paid by US customers on all imports. However, only now has it been made clear that the US wants this collected at the point of sale.

Any orders, regardless of value sent without having the Tariff pre-paid will be subject to a flat fee in the US to the buyer of a staggering $80 – $200 to receive their parcel.

The new tariff system starts on 29th August 2025 and it seems any order arriving follwoing that date will be subject to the new import fee.

Cutaway comics understand the disappointment our, hopefully temporary, decision will cause for our American customers.

Presently, the Royal Mail and other shipping providers do not have a system in place to manage the colelction of this new import tax. When such a service is offered we hope to be able to resume USA shipments.

Shipping to the Republic of Ireland

It seems there is a small war going on between the ROI postal service and the Uk's Royal Mail.

Over the last few months many of our shipments have been returned undelivered because of incomplete documentation. This appears to be another fall out of Brexit.

Presently we have no idea when this will be resolved and therefore have decided not to continue shipping to the ROI. Northern Ireland is not affected.

Hopefully, this will be resolved soon...
