Why Your Cart Suddenly Costs More in the U.S. — And What’s Behind It

You find a product. The price looks fair. You click through the shop — everything checks out.
Until the checkout.
Suddenly, there’s a customs charge. Not huge, but noticeable. And you’re left wondering: Why?

The answer is simple: Because you live in the United States. And because tariffs here aren’t stable — they’re political.

🧾 What You See From Us — and What Your Country Adds

In our shop, we show you the net price. That’s the product’s base value — no taxes, no customs duties.

At checkout, we break it down clearly:

• Product price
• U.S. sales tax — varies by state
• Customs duties — vary by product and political decisions

We don’t do this to confuse you. We do it to be transparent.
You see what you’re buying. And you see what your country adds on top.

🛃 Tariffs Aren’t a Law of Nature

In many countries, import fees are predictable.
In the EU, for example, import tax is just the local VAT — clear, stable, and consistent.

In the U.S., it’s different:

• Tariffs aren’t set by Congress — they’re often imposed by executive order
• They can change overnight
• They don’t apply equally to all products
• And they don’t apply equally to all countries

A product that’s duty-free today might cost 25% more tomorrow — not because of us, but because of Washington.

💬 Why We Don’t Hide It

We could bake the tariffs into the price and show you a higher number upfront.
But that would be unfair — because:

• Not all U.S. states charge the same tax
• Not all products are treated the same
• And not every customer should pay for political volatility

So we show you the net price — and let your country calculate the rest.
Transparency over trickery. Clarity over confusion.

🧠 What You Should Take Away

If you’re wondering why your cart suddenly costs more:
Don’t ask the merchant. Ask Washington.

Tariffs aren’t a service. They’re a political tool.
And you’re the one paying for them — not us.

If you have questions, reach out. We’re happy to explain how your price is built.
Because clarity isn’t a luxury. It’s where change begins.
