Important Update for Our USA Customers: Changes to Import Tax Rules

For many years, our customers in the USA have enjoyed a generous $800 de minimis threshold. This meant that any orders valued under $800 could be imported tax-free, avoiding duty and import taxes at the border.

However, this benefit is set to be removed on August 29, 2025, and soon all international purchases, no matter the value, will be subject to import duties and taxes when entering the United States.

What This Means for You

• Until the change comes into effect, USA customers can still order from www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk and take advantage of the $800 tax-free allowance.

• Once the de minimis is removed, duties and taxes will apply to all shipments, including smaller orders under $800.

• This will make buying high-quality British footwear from us more expensive for our American customers in the future.

Why You Should Order Now

If you’ve been considering a pair of Berwick 1707, Tricker’s, or any of our fine English shoes, now is the perfect time to place your order.

• You’ll save by avoiding additional import charges.

• You’ll secure your pair before upcoming price increases caused by this policy change.

• You’ll still receive the same expert service and worldwide delivery we’re known for.
