Shipping & Returns Policy

USA Tariffs

Effective August 29, 2025, the de minimis exemption for all international shipments sent to the U.S. is suspended, meaning duties and taxes now apply to all commercial imports valued at $800 or below. 

What has changed?

On July 30, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) titled “Suspending Duty free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries.” This EO announced the elimination of de minimis 
treatment under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) for imports to the U.S., regardless of value, country 
of origin, mode of transportation, or method of entry. This change is effective for goods 
entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 
a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on August 29, 2025. 
Effectively, low-value shipments to the US will no longer be eligible for de minimis treatment 
and will be subject to all applicable duties, taxes, and fees to be paid in accordance with 
applicable entry and regular payment procedures

In addition, USPS have been given permission to add a charge of $80 per shipment until January 2026

What this means

We are currently suspending 'Standard International' post for US customers to avoid this additional $80 charge. WE WILL TEMPORARILY CONTINUE SHIPPING TO THE US VIA FED EX ONLY.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: Goods purchased from outside the UK may be liable to additional taxes, charges or import duties. Newton Equipment accepts no responsibility for any additional fees. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to settle all fees imposed by your region.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR PARCEL TRACKING REGULARLY AS CUSTOMS IN YOUR COUNTRY MAY NOT INFORM YOU THAT THEY ARE WITHHOLDING YOUR ITEM.
