Do you ship to the USA?

Yes, we ship to the USA and offer both standard and insured shipping options.

For customers in the USA, we strongly recommend selecting our insured shipping option, especially for high-value items. Over the years, we’ve experienced rare but unfortunate cases where packages have been lost or damaged in transit. To help protect your order, we offer insured shipping exclusively through DHL.

Please note: DHL insures shipments up to a maximum value of €2,000. We encourage customers with higher-value orders to contact us directly before purchasing so we can discuss the best shipping and insurance options available.

If you choose standard (non-insured) shipping, you accept full responsibility for any loss or damage once the parcel leaves our facility.

Important Notice Regarding U.S. Import Tariffs

Due to recent tariff policy changes enacted by the U.S. government, certain imported goods may be subject to additional duties or fees upon entry into the United States. As our products are shipped from Ireland, these tariffs may affect the final cost of your order. Please be aware that any customs duties, taxes, or additional import fees are the responsibility of the buyer and may be collected by U.S. Customs upon delivery. We recommend checking with your local customs office for the most up-to-date information

Important Shipping Notice for U.S. Customers - Updated 28 April 2025

Important updates regarding DHL Express shipments to the United States with a customs value exceeding USD 800: Transit Time delays & withdrawal of temporary suspension of business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments.

  • As of April 28th, 2025, DHL Express has withdrawn the temporary suspension of business-to-consumer (B2C) shipments to the United States with a customs value exceeding USD 800.
  • This decision follows constructive dialogue between DHL and the U.S. government, who demonstrated a strong willingness to understand our operational and technical challenges, and who agreed that it was imperative to act quickly in the interest of U.S. consumers.
  • Starting April 28th, 2025, the value thresholds for shipments being sent to the U.S. have been adjusted. Shipments valued between USD 800 and 2,500 can once again be cleared using the expedited informal entry process. This positive development will enable us to resume normal operations.
  • Your shipments to the U.S. may still experience transit delays as we navigate the reintroduction of the service and while we clear the current backlog as soon as possible.
  • Shipments – both B2B & B2C - with declarable customs value below USD 800 remain unaffected by these changes.
