America’s Got Tariffs (But Our Boys Still Come Duty-Free)
On 28 August, the US Government decided its Customs and Border Protection (CBP) wasn’t slow enough and slapped new import tariffs on selected items. The result? A little more strip-searching at the border, a few tied-up packages, and some very impatient DNA fans. Here’s what’s really happening to your goodies:
Print issues – Subscriptions Posters DNAmen Special Editions
Still duty-free (that is, 0% tariff) and mailed as usual. However, USPS and CBP are working through a huge backlog, so your delivery might arrive with a slow tease rather than a quick finish.
DNA Body Oils
Now with a 10% tariff — but relax, it’s already built into the price. You’ll still shine, shimmer and slide without any unexpected stickiness at checkout.
DNA Tanks & Gear
Yes, Uncle Sam wants a 10% cut. But don’t panic, we’ve already included it in your purchase price. Tanks might be more expensive, but if you look that good in one, frankly, you’re worth it.
Parcel Situation
Australia Post has hit pause on parcels – multiple (3+) back issues, oils, and tanks while they build a system to pre-pay tariffs. The sexy tanks are safe, but they’re being held for questioning at the border.
What’s Still Moving
– DNA subscriptions and single issues are still being sent. Expect some delays as USPS and CBP work through their mountain of packages.
– Parcels are temporarily paused, but Australia Post expects to resume shortly
The Bottom Line
You won’t get a surprise bill or be asked to hand over cash at delivery — we’ve already taken care of all tariffs in your price which we pay on your behalf when we send your order.
So yes, there’s a bit of red tape, but trust us: your DNA boys will be worth the wait.
Reach out if you have any questions.
