Yes. We expect US Customs & DHL will apply a 17.6% tariff
We ship under customs code/HS code: 4202.92.91.00 'Travel, sports, or similar bags (textile outer surface)' Country of origin is the United Kingdom
- Applicable U.S. tariff (MFN / Column 1)
- For HS 4202.92.91.00, the U.S. MFN (normal trade relations) duty rate is 17.6%.
- This is a long-standing, structural tariff on bags and luggage — completely unrelated to the Supreme Court ruling, and Trumps 15% general tariff.
- The UK does not have a free trade agreement with the U.S. covering this product category, so full MFN duty applies.
All customs paperwork is processed by DHL Express they will email you prior to delivery with a breakdown of the import duty costs to be paid online, they also add a $17 processing fee.
Example
- Boot-bag Original $170 approx
- 17.6% Tariff $29.92
- DHL Expres Fee $17
Total anticipated extra cost $46.92
Please note we do not control the import costs or the exact duty line applied by DHL & US Customs it is beyond our control and minor variation shipment to shipment is normal.
DHL & US Customs may :
- Round up duties
- Apply a temporary surcharge
- Add additional service fee
To conclude
U.S. import duties are payable by the customer on delivery for UK-manufactured luggage bags classified under HS 4202.92.91.00, customers typically experience import charges of around 17.6%. This reflects current UK–US trade arrangements; the final amount is determined by U.S. Customs and DHL at the time of import
We would also like to draw your attention to clauses 3 & 4 of our terms and conditions agreed prior to purchase.
3. Customs Duties and Tariffs:
The customer is responsible for all customs duties, taxes, and tariffs imposed by the destination country. The final price paid for the goods does not include these additional charges. If the customer refuses to pay the applicable tariffs and the goods are returned to us, the customer will be responsible for the return shipping costs and any associated fees.
4. Chargebacks and Refunds:
In the event that a chargeback is initiated by the customer due to non-receipt of goods, and the goods are returned because of the customer’s refusal to pay customs duties, the customer will not be eligible for a full refund. The customer will be liable for any shipping costs and any other fees incurred in the process.
