U.S. Customs and Importation Taxes

Starting August 29, 2025, U.S. Customs began suspending the de minimis duty-free threshold. This is outside of Tahiti Shopping’s control, and will significantly impact shipping into the U.S.:

Previously, USPS collected duties on incoming parcels, but now they will only deliver.

. With USPS no longer collecting taxes and the de minimis threshold suspended, shipping disruptions are expected

. The French Polynesian postal operator (Fare Rata) must now calculate, collect, and remit duties to U.S. Customs before parcels can be handed to USPS.

. Fare Rata are not yet ready, and have already suspended shipping into the U.S., leading to carrier suspensions, delays, and undeliverable shipments.

We are closely tracking updates from Fare Rata and the customs authorities, and will keep you informed as restrictions ease.
