U.S. Tariff Update: New 10% Tariff Regime

Dear U.S. Clients,

Following recent U.S. executive actions, the trade landscape has shifted. Here is a concise summary of how these changes affect your orders at Kozo Studio:

  • Lowered Tariff Rate: The previous 19% rate has been replaced by a 10% global import surcharge (Section 122), effective immediately.

  • No Surprise Fees: We handle the paperwork for you. The 10% tariff is calculated and collected at checkout, and we pay it to the authorities on your behalf. This ensures your package clears customs without delay.

  • No Duty-Free Threshold: The $800 de minimis exemption remains suspended. All shipments, regardless of value, are subject to the 10% tariff.

  • Economy Shipping Still Paused: Due to ongoing customs processing delays with postal partners (USPS), economy and free shipping remain unavailable.

  • Reliable Express Shipping: We continue to offer FedEx Service at a $24.99 flat rate for unlimited items. This is the most reliable way to ensure your paper clears customs quickly.

  • Shop Domestic via Amazon: To bypass import fees and delays entirely, visit our [Amazon U.S. Store]. We have stocked our most popular paper packs in the Amazon U.S. warehouses for fast delivery.

We appreciate your resilience and support as we navigate these regulatory changes together.

Warm regards,

The Kozo Studio Team
