Important Info for U.S. Customers – Tariffs & Shipping Updates
⚠️ Important Info for U.S. Customers – Tariffs & Shipping Updates
As a Canadian-based business, this update only affects our U.S. customers.
✅ No Tariffs on Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Majorette
Good news — Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and Majorette are not manufactured in China, so they are not subject to any tariffs. Orders containing only these brands will be shipped as usual, with no changes or delays.
⚠️ Tariffs on Other Brands
Many of our other products (such as Mini GT, Kaido House, and others) are manufactured in China. Due to changes in U.S. trade policy, the De Minimis threshold is being removed starting tomorrow.
What is the De Minimis?
It’s a rule that allowed packages valued under $800 to enter the U.S. without duties or tariffs. Its removal means most packages with items manufactured in China will now be subject to import tariffs.
📦 How This Affects Your Orders
We can’t ship any China-manufactured items into the U.S. without tariffs starting May 1 2025.
Our prices currently do not include U.S. tariffs and packages containing Chinese made products might be subject to tariffs. We are not yet able to ship with prepaid duties yet but we're working on it and will update everyone once this becomes available.
💬 Your Options
For U.S. customers with Build-A-Box or Pre-Orders:
We can hold your order at our fulfillment center until the situation becomes clearer or tariffs are removed.
Or, we can cancel and refund your order upon request.
For mixed orders (e.g., Hot Wheels + China-made items):
We can ship the non-tariffed items (Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.) now.
The rest of your order can be held or cancelled based on your preference.
