Postal disruptions began August 29
Under the new Executive Order, all orders being shipped to the U.S. will be subject to tariffs, regardless of an item’s value. Postal services are working quickly to adapt to this change, but in the near term may face disruptions or even suspend service entirely. In the meantime, you may need to consider alternative services, including using express carriers such as DHL, FedEx, and UPS.
Etsy is strongly encouraging DDP
To navigate these changes, minimize disruptions, and ensure your item reaches your buyers without surprise costs, Etsy recommends using a Delivered Duty Paid (“DDP”) solution. With DDP, you pay all tariffs, taxes, and fees upfront, so your customers receive packages without additional charges or delays.
Zonos makes DDP simple
Calculate what tariffs will cost for your products, then build those fees into your Etsy prices so customers pay everything up front and avoid surprise fees at delivery. When you're ready to ship, you can use our discounted shipping rates and service fees to save.
