THE TARIFFS ARE COMING! THE TARIFFS ARE COMING!
Not since the Midnight Ride has a message of warning been so urgently sent.
Yes, you read that right:
The tariffs are coming. And they’re coming fast.
Starting August 29, 2025, the US will officially end its de minimis exemption for many international shipments.
Translation? If you’re ordering goods into the US, you’ll likely be paying more, thanks to a fresh wave of import tariffs.
It’s a major shake-up for international e-commerce, and it’s going to hit US shoppers hard.
Higher prices. Delays at customs. Surprise fees. No thanks.
But right now?
You still have time to outrun the red tape.
- Order before August 20th to ensure your shipment gets through in time.
- Skip the fees.
- Dodge the delays.
- Get your goods at the price you expect.
This is your chance to beat the bureaucratic cavalry before it even saddles up.
What Does This Mean for the Future?
Once the de minimis exemption is gone, any orders to the US will be subject to duties and fees, even those valued under $800 that previously sailed through customs untouched. This is especially impactful for frequent online shoppers, hobbyists, and small businesses sourcing parts or products from abroad.
The bottom line? What was affordable yesterday might not be tomorrow.
There Is a Silver Lining
With tariffs hitting international goods, now’s a better time than ever to support U.S.-based fulfilment.

No customs, no import tariffs. Just good old-fashioned U.S. shipping (with maybe a little grumble about state taxes, but hey that’s nothing new).
One Last Word from the Midnight Messenger
P.S. Paul Revere only had a horse.
We ship by plane. Place your orders now and beat the tariff rush while there’s still time.
Because once August 29 hits, those new fees will be riding in hard.
