Postal pause & Info re US Tariffs (not on the folders), etc.
Not on the folders! We make our folders here in North America.
Aug. 28th: Postal shipments to USA are on paused pending resolution of issues since new Trump tariff regulations.
So, if that was you - pair up your order with friends if you can, to split our other courier shipping options, for a best cost per folder. UPS Standard is typically best value.
UPS/FedEx are available, as listed in your cart.
- Good news: there are no US Tariffs on any music folders, no matter what the dollar amount. They are duty-free under the USMCA trade agreement. NEW: since August 29th, there is no 'de minimus' $800 threshold, so couriers MAY charge a brokerage fee. We have this solved with UPS for folders (by consolidating daily shipments so you have no brokerage fee) and we are expect customers using FedEx may be assessed a brokerage fee.
- On other items made overseas (e.g. ring adapters, magazine holders, stands, lights) do expect US Tariffs and related brokerage when: those items are bought individually, as a separate line item in your order (i.e. not bundled with a folder).
That's the full story.
And for completeness, two more things:
"International Orders"
We call an "International" order one which is shipped to any country that's not the USA or Canada. "International" orders, as ever, will have VAT and/or duty and any brokerage charges for importation added by your shipper.
Various other free-trade agreements world-wide help with reduction of duty, such as the CETA for Europe and CPTPP for the Pacific Rim, and we'll designate that in paperwork - we've shipped to 40 countries. Technically, your shipping Incoterms are "CPT".
Why not save more?
And now, while on this theme, here's a final point for your consideration:
To SAVE 25% or more - 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.
