USA TARIFFS OVERVIEW
updated October 11, 2025
- applies to shipments to the USA only.
AIRMAIL SHIPPING IS BACK, AND DUTY PROCESSING IS SMOOTH AND INEXPENSIVE! THE IMPORT DUTY RATE ON OUR KEYS SHIPPED BY AIRMAIL TO THE USA IS A LOW 10% plus processing fee 2%.
Important Notice for the USA: New Import Duties
- significant changes to US import regulations from September 2025.
What's Changed
The US government has eliminated the duty-free allowance ('de minimis' exemption) for smaller imports. All import shipments are now subject to duties, regardless of value.
Import Charges You'll Pay
• AIRMAIL ONLY: 10% US import tariff (duty) on the declared value of your keys shipped by airmail, plus a 2% fee for Customs brokerage (processing). This is for airmail only, delivered by USPS - United States Postal Service, regular or express (expedited).
• FEDEX ONLY: 14.5% US import tariff (duty) on the declared value of your keys, plus a Customs brokerage (processing) fee billed by the shipper. Caution! For many orders this fee will be greater than the duty itself. You are billed for these costs by FedEx and we do not know the amount in advance.
• UPS: Due to the slow and complicated outgoing service by UPS here at our location we are no longer offering UPS as a shipper option unless you have a specific need for it. If UPS is used, their type of fees are similar to FedEx but can be higher or lower in the amount billed to you.
Please note: US state sales taxes do not apply to our shipments from outside the USA.
All duty and tax information is based on our current understanding and experience; however, these charges are set by US authorities and are outside our control. We cannot guarantee coverage of all circumstances specific to your order.
