Tariffs, Taxes & Shipping to the United States

As of April 5, 2025, the United States maintains a de minimis exemption that allows shipments valued at $800 or less to enter the country without incurring duties or import taxes. This exemption applies to goods imported from the United Kingdom, including footwear. Therefore, when you buy shoes from the A Fine Pair of Shoes in the UK to be delivered to you in the USA, individual orders valued at $800 or less should generally qualify for duty-free entry under the current de minimis rule.

FAQ's
