About USA Tariffs
LATEST PAGE UPDATE: 20 September 2025
- UPDATE ON 20 SEP 2025 -
USA Shipping is LIVE again!!
Our new shipping method ships via a special commercial track, with tariff duties collected and paid by us on behalf of you.
This means that you will not have to pay any additional duties to the US Customs when the package reaches the US, which will cut down on your international shipping cost significantly!! There will be no USD$80 bill or any surprise fees from the US Customs!!
Tariffs collected by hanasakushop will be based on each product's country of origin:
- Made in Singapore (10%)
- Made in Japan (15%)
- Made in Vietnam (20%)
- Made in China (55%)
In addition to the Tariff fees, there will be an additional USD$2 of handling fees charged to each order. These are fees imposed by our courier for the paper work required to file tariffs to the US Customs.
All Tariffs and Handling fees will be automatically computed and charged based on the items you add to your cart for checkout. You don't have to do anything. :)
Another advantage of this shipping method is that we now provide full end-to-end tracking of your package! So now, tracking will show the entire journey of your package from Singapore to your US doorstep. :)) More transparency and visibility!
The only downside is that it might take slightly longer for the package to reach you. Compared to before, it now takes 11 to 16 working days for the package to be delivered, excluding any potential customs and operational delays.

- UPDATE ON 17 SEP 2025 -
We have found a method to ship to the US. This requires us to collect tariffs at checkout, which means shipping will run on a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) basis.
We are currently setting things up, and will be announcing the new US Shipping Method soon!! :)) So rest assured!! US Shipping will be back here on Hanasakushop soon!!
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding :))

- UPDATE ON 19 AUG 2025 -
We have just received news that shipments to the USA will be suspended by Singapore Post until further notice. So it is with a heavy heart we have to announce that we will also have to PAUSE orders/shipments to the US from 23 August 2025, 11:59pm (GMT+8).
We're so sorry for the inconvenience caused. >_<

Starting from 29 August 2025, the US will be ending the $800 de minimis exemption for ALL shipments into the country, regardless of the country of origin.
This means that all parcels and shipments entering into the US from 29 August onwards will now be subjected to import duties or/and flat-rate charges even if your parcel value is below the threshold of $800.
