Important Tariff Update for Our US Customers

As of August 29, 2025, the United States will eliminate the existing $800 duty-free exemption (De Minimis rule §321 CBP) on international shipments, including products from the European Union such as baby food and cereals.

But don't worry—we’ve got you covered!

🟢 What’s the Situation Until August 28?

Orders below $800 (per customer, per day) remain completely duty-free.
We continue to automatically split larger orders into smaller packages to keep each shipment under the duty-free threshold.

So go ahead, keep shopping! Nothing changes until August 28.

📦 What’s Changing on August 29?

Starting August 29, 2025, the duty-free threshold ($800) will no longer exist. From this date forward, all shipments from the EU—even those with low values—could be subject to customs duties or additional processing fees.

✅ But Here’s the Good News:

You don’t need to worry! We’re stepping up for you:

We will cover any import taxes, duties, or customs processing fees that might apply.
No hidden fees or surprises upon delivery.
No complicated paperwork or extra steps for you.

Simply put: Nothing changes for you—even after August 29!

🤔 What Does This Mean for Your Orders?

You’ll still enjoy worry-free shopping.
You won’t pay a single extra dollar for customs.
Our team handles everything behind the scenes.

Just shop as usual—we take care of the rest!

📅 Timeline – When Did This Start?

April 2, 2025: Announcement of a new ‘Reciprocal Tariff Policy’ targeting EU imports.
August 29, 2025: The previous $800 duty-free exemption (De Minimis rule §321 CBP) will be officially removed.

From this date onward, all international shipments—including those valued under $800—may incur customs duties or additional processing fees.

But remember: You don’t need to worry—we’ll cover any extra charges for you!

🧾Quick Legal Background

Previously, shipments valued under $800 entered the US duty-free. After August 29, 2025, this exemption ends, and all packages may incur import fees.

However, as a goodwill gesture to our valued customers, we will fully cover these costs for you. You remain legally responsible as the importer, but we handle the fees so your experience remains smooth and stress-free.

FAQ: US Import & Tariffs for EU Baby Food (Updated August 2025)

Is European baby formula affected by the new 2025 US tariffs?

Technically yes — but not for you. While baby formula from the EU is classified under tariff regulations, you won’t be charged anything extra. We fully cover all import fees.

Do I have to pay import tax when ordering baby formula from Europe?

No. Even though the previous $800 exemption is being phased out, we handle all customs charges for you, regardless of order value.

Are baby jars, snacks or cereals from Europe subject to the same tariff?

Yes, they fall under the same import rules. But again: you won’t pay any duties. We cover all fees — no matter which baby food you choose.

Can I still order organic baby formula from Europe without paying duties?

Absolutely. Our shipping process ensures that all import taxes or handling fees are on us. You just receive your products as usual.

Will my baby food order get delayed at US customs due to the new tariff?

Unlikely. Most small shipments pass through customs without delay. We declare everything properly and structure our shipments to avoid issues.

Does the $800 De Minimis exemption apply to baby formula?

Not after August 29, 2025. But you don’t need to worry — we now cover all import costs, no matter the value of your order.

Legal Disclaimer – Import Responsibility

The recipient is always considered the importer of record and is responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations in their country.

While we ship in a way that minimizes the risk of customs duties (e.g. under the $800 threshold), Baby’s Best Food cannot guarantee exemption from import taxes, fees, or delays, especially if local regulations change or are interpreted differently.

Customs policies vary by country and are subject to change.
We recommend checking with your local customs office if you’re unsure about your current import conditions.
