- The $800 duty-free allowance ended on 29 August 2025. A parcel is no longer exempt just for being cheap.
- Couriers add their own brokerage fee on top. It varies by carrier, so it is not included here.
- Customs processing fees are not included.
- US shoe tariffs run from 8.5% to 37.5% depending on material and construction. We show the span rather than pick a number.
- EU goods are treated differently: the base tariff and the forced-labour tariff share a 10% ceiling instead of stacking.
