Updates on tariffs for international sales to the United States
Summary: The seller_news_team post mentions the topic of updates regarding customs duties on international sales to the United States. However, no further details or additional discussion are provided in the content.
What you need to know
As of August 29, 2025, customs duties will be applied to most imports into the United States, regardless of their value. These customs duties are determined by:
- “Country or region of manufacture” (country of origin)
- Item type
- The item's material
New customs tariffs or tariff increases will take effect on August 7, 2025.
Some buyers in the United States may change their shopping habits and favor listings that specify the country of origin or manufacture in order to avoid unexpected import fees. We encourage you to include the item's country of manufacture in your listings. Learn about the customs requirements that apply to international shipments and how to find country-of-manufacture information.
Customs duties, import fees, and personal information are generally collected by carriers after the transaction is completed. Prices visible to buyers on eBay may exclude these costs.
Please note that shipments may experience delays due to increased customs checks in the United States.
Our commitment to you
- We will automatically adjust late shipping rates when valid tracking information shows delays related to customs clearance.
