US Tariffs: US Shipping resumed
Update - 5th September
I’m pleased (and more than a little relieved!) to announce that shipping to the USA is once again possible.
Following the introduction of a 10% tariff by the US Government on all items entering the US from the UK I have been working hard on a solution to restore shipping to my valued US buyers. To ensure the smoothest possible customs processing and to prevent unexpected additional customs payments on items arriving in the US, the tariff will be paid upfront, prior to shipping. From today (5th September 2025), all purchases to be shipped to the USA will automatically have the additional 10% tariff (10% of the items value) applied at checkout.
I still hold out hope that talks will continue between the UK and US governments to further reduce or, better yet, remove these tariffs especially on one off original works of art and handmade works. In the meantime I will continue to monitor any changes that do occur and will update this page as necessary.
Thank you again for your patience and understanding my friends.

Previous Updates:
26th August:
Due to the introduction of US Government Import Tariffs and the subsequent removal of exemptions for lower value goods, all shipments to US buyers are on hold for the time being as UK carriers have temporarily ceased all services the the USA. My shipping providers say that services will resume in the coming weeks. Unfortunately however US customers should be aware that the additional costs caused by these tariffs will need to be reflected in the shipping costs of all purchases. This will hopefully prevent excessive customs delays and avoid additional customs charges when their purchases arrive in the country.
Along with so many other independent artists and craftspeople I hope that the UK and US governments will see the impact that these tariffs are having on the creative industries and will arrive at a satisfactory solution but in the meantime I will keep this page updated as and when I hear any news on this situation.
Thank you so much for you patience and your support!
