Good News for Our USA Customers 🧡
We’re very happy to share that we have now resumed shipping our easels to the USA!
When the de minimis exemption was removed, we had to pause shipments while we worked out a solution. Since our easels are predominantly aluminium, they attract a 50% aluminium tariff on top of the standard 10% tariff for goods from Australia to the USA — a total of 60% in tariffs.
We’ve done our very best to absorb as much of these costs as possible, but to make US shipping sustainable, we have added a small “contribution to tariffs” at checkout.
Here’s the good news:
• All orders will ship directly from Australia via International Express Courier
• No surprise charges on delivery — what you see at checkout is final
• Fast, reliable, and fully trackable shipping despite the challenges
This is an interim solution while the global shipping environment remains unpredictable. Please know that we continue to work behind the scenes toward a better value, long-term solution for our US customers.
We’re so grateful for your patience and support as we navigate these changes, and we’re delighted to once again place Artristic easels into the hands of our US art community.

A Message to Our USA Customers 🧡
We want to share some important news with you.
Due to recent changes in US import rules and tariffs, and in particular the removal of the de minimis exemption, we’ve had to make the difficult decision to temporarily pause shipping our easels to the USA.
These changes mean that every shipment entering the US is now subject to new tariffs and taxes, and unfortunately, this makes it impossible for us to continue offering free shipping as we always have.
We are working hard behind the scenes to find a new, sustainable way to ship easels to the USA.
Thank you for standing by us during this transition. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have a solution in place.
