Frequently Asked Questions

US Tariff Update as of September 8, 2025:

De Minimis (Section 321/Duty Free) Entry into U.S. suspended as of Aug 29, 2025; carriers are working to provide a viable DDP-Duties Prepaid shipping solution, US shipping has been temporarily paused for the time-being until more information becomes available on how to proceed moving forward.

I will continue to monitor this fluid situation and provide updates as they become available.

Will I have to pay extra customs duties or import fees if I’m in the U.S.?

No — I ship with all duties prepaid (DDP) for U.S. customers. That means you will not receive surprise bills or added charges on delivery.

Many of the vintage pieces I offer were originally Made in the USA (Pyrex, Fire-King, Corning, Corelle, etc.), which qualify for duty-free re-entry under U.S. trade agreements. I clearly mark these items on customs forms and packaging.

Shipping costs include secure packaging and all necessary customs processing — so once you’ve checked out, you can relax knowing your piece will arrive safely, with everything already taken care of.
