US orders and Import Tariffs

Under President Trump’s trade policy, a new import tariff now applies to our music folders, product category (HS 4820.30). When you enter a U.S. shipping address, this tariff appears at checkout as “Duties.” This now affects every one of up to 60,000 folders/year we ship across USA.

Tariffed shipments also trigger courier import‑processing fees for us, and these fees vary by carrier — for example, some allow us daily consolidated brokerage while others charge per shipment.

To keep pricing simple and transparent, we will offset these courier fees directly in the Duties and/or Shipping shown at checkout, so that the amount you see is the final landed cost from us.

No additional import‑related charges will appear later or be billed to you by shippers.

Here's a final point for your consideration, to stretch your budget:

To SAVE 25%  - look to our near-perfect, Grade A Factory Seconds - while they last. People often have no idea why good 'Grade A' folders were discounted and I recommend them always, as a sensible money-saving option. Customers regularly write back with thanks for the suggestion.

...and my personal assessment is that these new tariffs will remain through at least the rest of 2026.
