USA Tariffs Update

As of 0800 this morning 26th August 2025 (GMT +10) Australia Post have advised that they are suspending all deliveries to the USA.

The email to us as an Australia Post account holder includes the following key points:

• The new tariff process requires pre-payment of the tariffs. This means that the seller is responsible for paying the additional duty and associated service fees.
• Australia Post is setting up a process using a 3rd party to undertake this processing, however the costs / fees are unknown.
• The timing of the resumption of parcel post to the USA is unknown.

Our response to this is:

• Suspension of all sales from our RecoverToy_USA ebay store.
• Suspension of USA as a destination for our RecoverToy ebay Australia store.
• Refunds to all pending USA delivery orders from our website and both ebay stores.

All 3 of the above tasks were completed earlier today 26th August 2025.

Where to from here? This is just an educated guess, but we are expecting a significant service fee per transaction. For us to absorb that cost plus the 10% tariff is not feasible. At this time we do not expect to be making any shipments to the USA for the forseeable future.

We will keep this site updated as more information becomes available.
