Yes. Since the US withdrew its $800 de minimis allowance on 29 August 2025, import duty applies to every shipment regardless of value, including personal imports. This is now permanent.
How much ?
The Revo-Rack is manufactured in the United Kingdom and classified as a motor vehicle part and accessory. Under the UK–US trade arrangement, UK-origin automotive parts qualify for a reduced total US duty of around 10% of the declared value. This is the full rate — there is no separate base duty on top.
HS Code: 8708.9997.90
Origin: United Kingdom
The July 2026 changes do not affect this
On 24 July 2026 the United States replaced its temporary global import surcharge with new Section 301 duties of 10–12.5% on most imports. Goods already covered by Section 232 automotive tariffs — including ours — are excluded from that action.
Estimated import costs
Revo-Rack, circa $450
Import duty at 10%: circa $45
DHL processing fee: $17
Expect roughly $62–$75 in total additional costs.
We do not control import costs or the exact duty line applied by DHL and US Customs. Minor variation between shipments is normal — duties may be rounded up, or additional service fees applied.
How it's collected
All customs paperwork is processed by DHL Express. They will email you before delivery with a breakdown of the duty payable online.
We would also like to draw your attention to clauses 3 & 4 of our terms and conditions agreed prior to purchase.
3. Customs Duties and Tariffs:
The customer is responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and tariffs imposed by the destination country. The final price paid for the goods does not include these additional charges. If the customer refuses to pay the applicable tariffs and the goods are returned to us, the customer will be responsible for the return shipping costs and any associated fees.
4. Chargebacks and Refunds:
In the event that a chargeback is initiated by the customer due to non-receipt of goods, and the goods are returned because of the customer’s refusal to pay customs duties, the customer will not be eligible for a full refund. The customer will be liable for any shipping costs and any other fees incurred in the process.
If you have any additional questions please email us prior to purchase.
