A Note for Our US Customers
​
Shipping to the US has become more complex since the introduction of the new tariff regulations. For over a decade, we enjoyed a flawless record with DHL, but this summer, some customers faced unexpected customs issues — with fees occasionally exceeding the official 15% rate.
​
Since we conducted deeper research into the matter, things have been running smoothly again — with consistent and fair results.
While the official import duty remains 15%, additional paperwork and processing fees usually bring the total to just under 20%, which is roughly comparable to the VAT rate paid by our European customers.
​
If you’re charged significantly more than that, please reach out and I’ll personally refund the difference to keep things fair.
Thank you for your trust and understanding — and for supporting independent instrument makers like us. We’re doing everything possible to keep your order process smooth, transparent, and fair.
