August 2025
Important Notice: adding this 28th August, 2025.
Due to the new US de minimis requirements, coming into force 29/08/25, Royal Mail said it was withdrawing its current US export/shipping services, but added it hoped to have a new system up and running within days to allow it to comply with the new rules. I’m hoping this will be soon and with clarity, as I’m struggling to find any codes for my products at this stage.
This means I am not listing in line with the Kensington Online Show taking place 29th August to 3rd September as I would normally do. I will upload listings when I am confident any packages sent, will reach their destination; and rather than list with shipping to the UK only, I will wait, believing this decision is more fair to all.
Royal Mail have said “We have been working hard with US authorities and international partners to adapt our services to meet the new US de minimis requirements so UK consumers and businesses can continue to use our services when they come into effect.”
Thank you for your patience; and I will upload listings as soon as there is some normality!
