No more shipments to USA

In February 2025, US president Trump announced tariffs against the EU and many other countries. On July 27th, 2025, a "Deal" was made with the EU to lower these tariffs to 15% for most goods, including computer accessories like our products.

At the end of August 2025, the De-Minimis regulation has been stopped. This regulation allowed customers to import goods worth up to 800 USD free of any tariffs. Since then, we've been trying to ship goods to the US that are only charged the agreed 15% tariffs, but so far, it only resulted in huge losses. If we ship with UPS, they assume that the contents are made from steel or aluminium from China, and charge 200% tariff. DHL Express is similarly absurd: They assume that the contents are completely made of steel, aluminium or copper and charge 50% tariff (the EU-rate for those metals). This is done despite proper electronic declaration of our goods with the 10-digit US customs codes.

As a result, many customers refuse to accept these charges and we end up having to pay for the return shipment as well. Customers are fully refunded via PayPal. The losses that have been adding up over the past three months are too big to justify more shipping attempts to the USA. We can therefore only offer shipping to the US via forwarding services if the payment is done with wire transfer.
