Important tariff announcement for my U.S. customers

A quick update for my lovely U.S. customers.

I’ve had to make a tough call. As of 29 August, the U.S. has introduced a temporary USD 80+ flat duty on every parcel coming in from New Zealand, no matter the size.

Because this extra cost just isn’t fair on you, I’ve decided to pause shipping my needle-felting kits to the U.S. until 1 March 2026. At that time the rules will change again, and the tariff will drop to a more reasonable 15% of the order value. When that happens, I’ll happily resume U.S. shipping.

The good news? My digital patterns are still available worldwide, and kits remain available in other countries. Plus, U.S. customers can order my books directly from Amazon.com without a tariff being imposed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
