Note for US Customers (2025 Update)
As of 29th August 2025, the US government has taken away the de minimis exemption, meaning all parcels will now incur taxes and duties. This has now been factored into our price, shown at checkout. Orders will continue to ship under Delivered Duty Paid arrangement (DDP), meaning the total now includes taxes and duties, and Miao Atelier will be billed for it. There will be no extra charges for you on delivery. No surprises. Estimated delivery times to the USA will be around 5-20 working days with Free Standard Tracked Shipping.
Due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown that began on 1 October 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently operating at reduced capacity. As Congress has yet to pass funding legislation for the 2026 fiscal year, clearance delays are expected for shipments entering the United States.
The free shipping option has since been restored as of 11 November 2025, and we're hopeful about the situation as postal systems around the world are working towards restoring service to the USA.
I truly appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate through these changes.
Thank you for your continued love and for supporting my art.
