US CBP import tariffs

In July 2025, the US Customs and Border Protection Agency announced new import tariffs from most countries in the world, including a 10% import tariff on almost all goods from the United Kingdom. In response, in late August 2025, dozens of international postal carriers announced the suspension of delivery services to the US, including the UK’s Royal Mail. Royal Mail has now restarted package services to the US for most business customers, including BeltBolt. However, we will have to pay US customs import fees upfront before they are accepted into the UK’s delivery network.

If you ordered from BeltBolt after 28th August 2025, selecting a delivery address within the US will automatically apply a 10% US CBP tariff fee to your order, which we pay before posting your items. You will not be charged any additional tariff fees upon import.

We have retired the temporary post-payment system for US-bound orders as we have fulfilled all orders affected.

Royal Mail’s new system adds the US to the PDDP network, meaning it is provable that all import fees have been paid upon import to the United States. Your order’s postage label will display a “PDDP” symbol and show as import fees paid to USPS & US CBP, meaning it will pass through US CBP without being assessed for extra fees.
