US Customers: After months of uncertainty, NZ Post has finally resumed sending small parcels to the United States via NZAir International as of Monday, 17 November — reopening a crucial route for our customers.

However, there is a catch. All parcels bound for the United States are now subject to additional duties, taxes, and administrative fees. These charges depend on the specific items in your parcel and the country in which each was originally manufactured. Because South Pacific Berets sources berets from many regions, the resulting tariffs can vary widely.

These extra costs are not displayed at checkout. They are applied only once your parcel leaves New Zealand, and South Pacific Berets is invoiced for them afterward — making it impossible to provide an exact upfront amount. To cover these imposed fees, you will receive, together with your order confirmation, an additional invoice of $22.50 per beret.
