MESSAGE TO US BASED VISITORS

Updated 31/8/25

As a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements set out in US Executive Order 14324, Australia Post has joined a number of international postal operators to temporarily suspend partial postal services to the United States (US) and Puerto Rico, effective immediately until further notice.

This decision has been made to ensure compliance with the new US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements. Specifically, the requirement for duties and taxes to be prepaid on all shipments prior to their arrival in the US. The key changes are as follows:

1.	Suspension of the de minimis USD$800 threshold exemption.
2.	New mandatory customs declaration requirements.
3.	Duties for imported goods to be collected prior to goods entering the US.

 

Australia Post are working to set up systems to enable collection of relevant tariffs and we are registering to be included with this service.

What does this mean for you?

Leaflets such as cross stitch patterns which fit in a standard envelope can still be sent as a letter.

All parcel orders to the US will be picked and held aside until postal services resume.

 We can, however, still ship via Fedex - please contact us at  peter@goldingcraft.com.au  prior to placing your order for further details.

Website prices do NOT include US tariffs as these are US specific and vary by country of origin so, once your order is confirmed, you will be sent a PayPal request to cover the additional fees charged by the US Government.

Upon receipt of your payment your shipment will be released - should you wish to cancel then a refund will be issued.

Thank you for your understanding.
