US SHIPPING ALERT
🚨 Important Shipping Update for US Customers
Due to recent changes with US import tariffs, Australia Post has temporarily suspended all shipments from Australia to the United States, as of August 26th, 2025. They are working hard to meet the new requirements set by United States Customs and Border Protection and are promising to reopen shipping as soon as they can.
For now, this means:
- You are still welcome to place orders through our website.
- However, ORDERS TO THE US WILL NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL AUSTRALIA POST LIFTS THE SUSPENSION
- Unfortunately, no specific timeline has been provided — we assume this will be no more than a few weeks, but cannot provide a guarantee.
We know this is frustrating, and we truly appreciate your patience as we navigate this situation.
A few key points:
- We have adjusted our USD prices to already include the new 10% US tariff on Australian imports.
- All our inks are proudly Made in Australia and carry the Made in Australia Logo.
- Unlike goods made in China, which can face up to 50% tariffs, our inks are taxed at the lower 10% rate.
- We will pay this 10% tariff directly to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for each order that we receive so you won’t see surprise charges on delivery.
We will pack up all US orders received ready to ship the moment AusPost reopens the service. Until then, your inks will be held safely here with us.
Thank you for your continued support — it means the world to our small family business.
