As of 29th August 2025, the $800 duty-free limit to the USA has been removed. That means duties can now apply to every parcel - no matter the value.

We in the US will have to pay not only the duty, but also fee to the carrier for handling the bureaucracy and payments.
This morning the tariff on China is 30%, India (HF Signals) is 50%, Brazil 50%, ...
The tariffs change rapidly. You can track them here

The constant changes have caused many shippers to halt shipments to the US..

I recently attempted to buy three boards from MiniKits in Australia, whom I have bought from many times in the past. Due the amount of extra labor required to keep up with the Tariff’s, MiniKits has opted not to sell to its USA Customer base any longer. 

Shame, I really needed those parts for a project, and if I had known, I would have ordered months ago..
