US Tariffs & Shipping
All of our coins are currently exempt from US tariffs, although customs regulations may change and are outside of our control.
Due to recent changes in US customs procedures, shipping methods now depend on the order value:
Orders under £500
These are shipped via Royal Mail International Tracked, which is then handled by USPS once in the US. Customs processing is completed at the point of dispatch in the UK, which helps ensure a smoother and faster clearance process. The total cost is £11.40, which includes the customs processing fee.
Orders between £500 and £1,850
Orders within this value range qualify for free shipping via Royal Mail International Tracked. Alternatively, you may choose UPS Express Saver® at a subsidised rate of £18.
Royal Mail shipments are handed over to USPS once in the US, with customs processing completed before departure from the UK to help ensure smooth and efficient clearance.
If you choose UPS Express Saver®, please note that PO Box addresses cannot be accepted. UPS shipments also typically require an additional working day for us to arrange collection before dispatch.
Orders over £1,850 (approx $2,500 USD)
For purchases exceeding £1,850, we ship via UPS Express Saver®, as US customs requires a formal customs entry. In these cases, a standard processing fee may apply, typically under $50 USD. UPS will also require the recipient to provide a Tax ID or Social Security Number (SSN) in order to complete customs clearance. These requirements are set by US customs and the courier and are outside of our control.
If you are considering multiple coins or a higher-value order, please feel free to contact us, we are happy to advise on the most suitable shipping method or whether splitting an order into multiple parcels may be beneficial.
UPS shipments also typically require an additional working day for us to arrange collection before dispatch.
We are here to help with any questions.
