We want to keep you informed about two key regulatory changes that may affect your shopping experience.
VAT Rate Increase in South Africa
Following the government’s decision to reverse the intended VAT rate increase, the 15.5%, will not be applied as previously communicated.
New USA Tariff Rules for South African Shipments
Starting 5 April 2025, South African goods valued over $800 shipped to the USA will incur a 30% tariff on the total value.
What this means for you
- The tariff applies in addition to any landed costs or shipping fees charged by couriers.
- The full value of the shipment is taxed. For example, if your shipment is worth $850, you will pay 30% of $850 ($255) in tariffs.
We remain committed to transparency and will provide updates as legislation progresses to keep your shopping experience smooth.
