IMPORTING TO THE USA - WE VALUE YOUR BUSINESS!


TARIFFS, TAXES & Shipping

The new US import tariffs which came in to effect on April 5th 2025 mean that, when you purchase goods from the UK, you are responsible for the payment of an import tax to the US government of 10% on the value of those goods. 

For example, if your Pobjoy order value is $1,000, then you should expect to be charged an additional $100, collected by the courier company, before receiving the goods. ($1,000 x 10%)

In order to reduce the negative effects of this new tariff upon our US customers, we have committed to absorb the majority of this charge.

As from May 2025 we have reduced our US Dollar prices to US residents by -6%.

This means that the price you pay, when including the tariff, has only increased by 4% instead of 10%.

Expressed another way, we pay 6% (by reducing our prices) and you pay 4%.

All prices in US Dollars published on this website include shipping on orders over $600 and all other duties and taxes.

Great experience from start to finish. I received updates throughout the whole process and great customer service.

I had this shipped to the USA and it arrived in 3 days from the day of being shipped from the UK. My order exceeded my expectations.

I would definitely buy from this company again. Thank you.
