Info re US Tariffs (not on the folders), etc.

USA Trump Tariffs:
Not on the folders! We make our folders here in North America.
It's time to condense information for you on this, on Trump-related changes.
  • No US Tariffs on any music folders, no matter what the dollar amount. They are duty-free under the USMCA trade agreement.
    However, some high value orders are inconsistently having some carriers (particularly UPS) add a collectable brokerage fee, on orders over the $800-per-day de minimus threshold. To date we've heard of this on 3 UPS shipments, and not so far, on shipments by Post, or FedEx (and we send over 5000 shipments/year).
  • On other items made overseas (e.g. ring adapters, stands, lights) expect probable US Tariffs and related brokerage when: those things are bought individually (i.e. not bundled with a folder) as a separate line item in your order.

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.
