To my US customers: shipping to the USA made easy

NEW EDIT October 15th 2026: shipping to the USA continues as normal

Good news: the implementation of the previously announced restrictions has been postponed to January 2027, by the U.S. authorities. So until then, we are still shipping DDP to the USA with Delivengo at excellent rates.

EDIT October 14th 2026

As part of the strengthening of regulatory import controls in the United States, items subject to PGA (Partner Government Agencies) regulations can no longer be shipped via MyDelivengo starting October 19, 2026. Unfortunately, wool yarns are among the items so we have to suspend all shipping to the USA from next Friday (October 16th 2026) 6am GMT.

We are looking into new carriers and will keep you informed of the new developments.

I´m truly sorry about that!

 

I finally have excellent news for my US customers.

We have changed carrier and are now shipping DDP to the USA at a much better rate: taxes are calculated at the checkout and there are no extra fees to pay on receipt.

It´s been quite the roller coaster to figure out the new tariffs and navigate all the changing rates but we finally settled with a new carrier which we have been testing for a while now and, so far, everything seems to be straight forward.

  • We are sending to the USA on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis using Delivengo, a small-parcel shipping service provided by La Poste.
  • Once the parcel is in the US, it is relayed by USPS (United State Postal Service).
  • The tariffs are 0% on books and 10% on the yarns, kits and notions. Because the goods are of Icelandic origin, there are no additional tariffs applied.
  • So once you have placed your order, at the checkout, you will see what you have to pay and no extra fees will be paid on receipt.
  • If for some reasons you were asked to pay something, contact us immediately so we can sort things out.
  • This service is available only for goods under 2 kg: split your order in two if you are above this limit (the system may tell you there is no shipping method or offer an other service, much pricier: it´s more cost-effective to place 2 orders).
