US shipping is BACK!
After a short pause - we've been able to work some our sparkle and figure out how to open shipping back to y'll across the pond!
But first - a quick FYI...
You will now see an extra product called Delivery Duty Paid will be added to your cart when you check out as a US customer.
This accounts for the customs taxes/duties on the items.
We want to emphasize that we do not make any profit from these charges - it is a matter of us collecting them and passing them onto our shipping providers, who then pay the relevant US authorities on your behalf. We believe this will be the best way that the charges are displayed to you when you purchase to avoid any later surprises.
You might wonder why this has happened?
In July 2025, the US government announced that the de minimis rule that has been in place between many countries including UK to the USA has been suspended. This rule previously allowed any low cost items under $800 to be FREE of customs/import duties such as our goodies at ATC.
This suspension of the de minimis rule came into effect on August 29th 2025.
Under the new rules:
ALL goods (no matter their value) will incur import duties.
Duties & Taxes will need to be collected before the package enters our shipping network.
What does this mean for you?
Everything should now be up and running and therefore the good news for you is:
All taxes & duties are paid upfront at checkout so there are no surprises or customs paperwork upon delivery!

Thank you for your patience as we worked this out - we're so excited to have this up and running for all of you once again as our US customers are a backbone of ATC and we strive to continue to spread our sparkle across the globe!✨
