Shipping from the UK to the USA was never Easier, Cheaper or Faster!
On March 10, 2016 the USA government raised their de minimis value on imports from $200 to $800. It is now possible for UK businesses and individuals to send goods valued below ~£800 to the USA free of US import duties and taxes. With no VAT on non-EU sales, many shipments to the USA are now completely free of all duties and taxes.
This provides UK e-tailers and businesses with a great opportunity to sell goods to US consumers. Through Cloud Climax a New Yorker can now order a product duty free from the UK and receive it the next day via UPS, DHL or FedEx! Wow, we really are moving towards a global village!
All Cloud Climax® Shipments are sent to East Coast USA using Next Day Delivery and West Coast USA 2-3 Day Service, normally with Fedex.
USA has joined Australia in setting a relatively high de minimis value on imports. Australia charges no import taxes on goods valued up to A$1,000 (~£550). Sadly the EU and UK still charge VAT on all imported purchases valued over a miserly €22 and £15 respectively. Come on Brussels get with the programme!
