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 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 the amount you see is the final landed cost from us.

No additional import‑related charges will appear later.

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.

If you are shipping to a destination outside the USA or Canada, please choose your region carefully using the dropdown selection at the top, because info here doesn't apply to you - you'll have normal import costs assessed via Incoterms CPT shipping, but with reduced duty for countries that have entered the CETA and CPTPP trade agreements into effect.
