USA customers: DX Engineering has plenty in stock. However, if you want to order direct from us better do so within the next two weeks. Because after that either the price goes up significantly for USA customers or we stop selling to the USA entirely. Not sure yet what we'll do.

    That seems to be the trend lately. What price would you be looking at?

    Don't know. NZ tariff just got bumped from 10 to 15%. But the unknown is the overhead. What does DHL charge us in fees? How much of my time gets spent dealing with this instead of working on stuff you guys actually want? The list goes on and on..

    So there is some indication now the tariff would be collected as VAT is now in the UK/Europe.

    That is, DHL contacts you when the parcel lands and asks for the tariff to be paid via credit card PLUS their "processing" fee (amount TBD). Then the shipment is released for delivery.

    But this is not 100% certain yet.

    The overall problem is not the tariff itself. It's that the US $800 "de minimis" (duty free) exemption that lets most inexpensive goods through, that was set to expire in 2027, got moved up to August 29.

    We still can't get a straight answer. But it appears it's going to be something like this:

    395.00 Kiwi MSRP
 40.00 DHL USA shipping
435.00 subtotal
 65.25 15% tariff on goods & shipping
500.25 subtotal
 40.00 DHL tariff processing fee (not verified)
540.25 total

    At that point DX Engineering's current list price (without shipping charges) of $519.99 looks pretty good. They have lots in stock. So please consider ordering from them.
