As of August 29, 2025, the United States has suspended the de minimis threshold of $800.
This change was made through a Trump executive order, and it is now federal law.
What this means:
-
All shipments to the U.S. now require prepaid duties before crossing the border.
-
Duties apply to all packages, regardless of their value or country of origin.
-
On average, this adds about $15 USD or more per order, unreasonable for someone looking to order a Playmat or other TCG Accessory in my opinion.
-
These fees are not set or collected by us. They are imposed by U.S. Customs & Border Protection.
Because of this sudden change, many small businesses (mine included) are facing serious shipping challenges.
Unfortunately, starting Monday, I will be pausing all new U.S. orders until there is a practical solution.
I value my U.S. customers deeply. You have all been incredibly supportive, and this has been a phenomenal community to be a part of.
I will update you as soon as we can resume shipping.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation together.
