    How shipping to the United States works.

    1. Step 1

      Connect your store

      Shopify, WooCommerce, ShipStation, Metapack or the API. Integrations.

    2. Step 2

      Add US HTS codes

      Set a 10-digit US HTS code and country of origin per product. The app sets them in bulk.

    3. Step 3

      Your customer pays duty at checkout

      The duty is part of the price your customer sees, in dollars, before they pay.

    4. Step 4

      Buy the label, drop it off

      Buy a duty-paid label from the order, then use a Post Office or a Royal Mail collection.

    Before you ship to the United States.

    How US duty stacks up

    The rate for the product's 10-digit HTS code, plus Section 301 by country of origin (10% for most UK-made goods since 24 July 2026), plus Section 232 where steel or aluminium content applies. Try the free US import duty calculator.

    Use 10-digit US codes

    Six-digit or UK codes aren't enough for US duty. Without a valid 10-digit HTS code the duty can't be calculated, so the order won't price.

    Country of origin sets the rate

    Section 301 depends on where the goods were made, not where you ship from. UK-made and China-made versions of the same product pay different duty.

    Sales tax is separate

    US state sales tax isn't import duty. It becomes yours to handle once you pass a state's economic-nexus threshold, and most UK stores don't. Teleship collects and pays import duty only.

    Restricted goods

    Some products need permits, such as FDA-controlled tableware, and some need CPSC eFiling data. Restricted items.

    No US registrations

    No US importer account or customs broker to set up. Teleship clears every parcel and pays the duty with the label.

    Three questions merchants ask about the United States.

    Does every US order pay duty now?
    The US ended its $800 duty-free threshold in August 2025, so every parcel pays duty: the HTS rate, plus Section 301 on most UK-made goods (10% since 24 July 2026).
    Do I need a US importer account or a customs broker?
    No. Teleship clears every parcel and pays the duty with the label. You set a 10-digit HTS code and country of origin per product; the app does it in bulk.
    What if the duty comes in higher than you quoted?
    Whatever we quote your customer at checkout is what you pay. If US customs charges more, Teleship pays the difference.
