New postal service for USA customers since the suspension of the US ‘De Minimus’ exemption for parcels under $800
Parcels destined for the USA are now sent via Royal Mail ‘Delivered Duty Paid’ service. This means we arrange to pay the new duties in advance i.e. The price paid at the checkout includes USA Customs Duties and Fees. This should ensure the parcel clears through US Customs with the intention that the recipient should not have to pay any further Duty or Fees . Parcels sent via Royal Mail that are destined for the USA are delivered via USPS.
For USA Customers please check updates with USPS for any delays caused by poor weather and/or other issues etc. as our parcels are usually delivered via USPS for our Standard Shipping Services.
Our products are shipped from the U.K. using Royal Mail ( on occasion we may use other couriers when Royal Mail are unable to provide certain shipping services).
Parcels arriving in the USA will be delivered via USPS if we dispatch using Royal Mail.
All orders are sent using a fully trackable service to USA and Canada.
Delivery time line – Remote areas generally take longer than central locations.
For countries outside USA and Canada small low price items such as a small number of belt loops are usually sent via untracked Royal Mail Airmail but customers can opt to upgrade to a trackable service.

FULFILLMENT OF YOUR ORDER
We mainly use Royal Mail to deliver customer orders if shipped from our main warehouse in the UK. If you order more than one item on occasion these items maybe sent separately if they are held in different locations. We will notify you if this is the case. Items dispatched via Royal Mail will be delivered via USPS in the USA. Orders placed with Express Shipping are sent via Courier service.
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR HOLIDAY INFORMATION
Business days are Monday to Friday UK time excluding public and bank holidays.
If we receive orders on 23rd and 24th December (and these occur on business days) it is unlikely they will be dispatched until the first or second UK business day after Christmas – please check with us before placing your order during this time if you need the item urgently. Some orders received between 26th and 31st December may also not be dispatched until the first or second business day in the New Year as there is a limited postal service during this time and our craftsmen may not be available to make the items ordered. We try to dispatch as much as possible during the interim period between Christmas Day and New Years Eve but its not always possible to dispatch all orders until after the Christmas and New Year holiday time.
Made to measure and hand finished items that are made to order may take a little longer.
DUTY AND TAXES
All product prices and shipping fees exclude any personalization, tax and import duty cost unless stated otherwise. All shipping fees will be displayed on the checkout page once you have entered the shipping address details including country of destination.
If you live outside the UK and/or have Goods sent outside the UK, then you maybe liable for further customs duty (import tax) that may be applied during shipment and we cannot be held responsible for any further costs due to local customs and duty taxes. The carrier will generally ask the recipient to pay for this import tax upon delivery.
USA – Delivery and New USA Duty and Customs Rules
Since the suspension of the US ‘De Minimus’ for parcels under $800 orders destined for the USA will be sent ‘Delivered Duty Paid’. This means ordinarily you should not have to pay any additional duty once your parcel arrives in the USA .
We have chosen this method so that our USA Customers can continue to order from our website with the intention that the parcels will move swiftly through CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). The prices we display will include the duty that we will pay to our courier with the intention that the parcels will move swiftly through USA Borders and Customs. However we cannot make any guarantee that this will be the case and you may still be contacted by the USA Customs Authorities if they require any further details or payments.
N.B. Belt Designs make every effort to include all the necessary documentation at the time of dispatch including invoices and CN22 or CN23 forms to ensure items clear USA customs as quickly as possible however we cannot be held responsible for any further costs or delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
