New Import Duties and Rules for Packages to the USA

The US government has changed the import duties and rules (Goods and Services Tax (GST)) for packages to the US. These rules take effect on August 29, 2025, and affect all shipments to the US.

Below you can read exactly what the changes are and what they mean.

We ship to the US with UPS

UPS will apply the new rules starting on August 29, 2025.

For shipments via UPS, the import duties are paid by the recipient:
- The recipient will receive a payment link from UPS when the package arrives in the US.
- If the recipient does not pay online, the import duties must be paid upon receipt. A $12 surcharge will be charged to the recipient for this.
- Important: In some situations, UPS will deliver the package without the import duties being paid. In that case, the import duties will be charged to Canyonzone.com afterward. A supplementary invoice will be sent to the recipient for this.

New surcharge: Starting September 8th, UPS will implement a surcharge for shipments to the US. The surcharge is $2.50 USD per shipment and covers the additional costs incurred during US customs processing at busy sorting locations.

How do import duties work if a package is returned?
UPS usually credits these duties.
However, import duties may be due in the Netherlands. These are the shipper's responsibility and will be deducted from the value of the initial order.

This is a (temporary) supplement to the terms and conditions.
