Gateway USA: Essential Tips for Shipping Your Goods to the USA - New Tariff Rules for Low-Cost Goods Explained
Are you concerned about the new rules for selling low-value items to the US? Want to avoid the hassle of navigating complex export regulations? Join our upcoming webinar to get clear, practical guidance on the latest tariff changes and shipping requirements.
The United States remains the UK’s largest export market, accounting for 21.7% of total UK trade in the four quarters to Q3 2024. With £182.6 billion in exports, the US offers huge potential—especially for British brands, which enjoy strong recognition across the Atlantic. UK businesses can also take advantage of minimal language barriers when entering the US market.
However, recent changes to US tariff regulations, including changes to the De Minimis rules for low-value shipments which came into effect last August, have raised concerns for many exporters. |
