New World 3 price option for members in the USA
On 30th July 2025, the United States government announced an Executive Order which outlined significant changes to the customs requirements and processes for goods being imported into the USA from 29th August 2025. You can read more here.
A key element is the removal of duty-free for low value items. Previously, items valued at less than $800 could enter the USA without having to pay customs duties. Now, these import tariffs (duties) must be paid on top of the postage you already pay.
We had already planned to introduce a ‘World 3’ price structure for members in the USA from our winter mailing, but have no option than to bring this forward. With over 400 items in our online catalogue, it will take a little time for us to introduce World 3 to all products, so please bear with us.
With immediate effect, members in the USA must choose the W3 (World 3) option (where available) when ordering from us.
