On August 29, 2025 an executive order issued by Donald Trump brought an end to the exception for small-value goods to enter the U.S. tariff-free.
As a result, customers who have goods of any value shipped from Ireland (where we are based) to the U.S. will receive an email requiring payment of 15% of the value of the package, plus an administration fee, before the books are released for shipping. At the time of writing, this administration fee has still not officially been confirmed to us. Tariffs are a charge on the customer in this situation, there is nothing that we can do to circumvent this.
We have stopped shipping from our base in Ireland to the U.S. but pre-orders (along with other books purchased in the same order), which we ship tariff-free from our U.S. warehouse, and e-course purchases are unaffected.
The tariffs have created a lot of uncertainty and extra expense for both customers and sellers, and many other businesses around the world have also suspended direct shipping services to the U.S., waiting for better solutions to develop. It is possible that we may resume shipping single orders to the U.S. in future. We expect that U.S. import tariffs on our goods are here to stay, however the exact mechanisms may evolve.
We are very lucky to already be working with the lovely and wonderful Red Wheel/Weiser – our distributor in north America. From now on, rather than buying your books directly from our webstore, we will simply redirect you to the Womancraft Publishing landing page on redwheelweiser.com where you can order copies that come from our U.S. warehouse instead. The books are identical in every way, except that our stock in the U.S. will not be signed by the author or come with bookmarks.
Life would be no fun if it wasn't complicated! Yes, there are exceptions.
The shop won't automatically prevent you from doing that, as we want to keep it possible to add other books to an order when you're pre-ordering a title. If you do place a book order (that does not contain a pre-ordered title) with U.S. shipping details we will simply refund the order, minus the small fee that we've paid to the payment processing company.
Don't hesitate to email us at info@womancraftpublishing.com or use the contact form on the website to clarify anything you're not sure about.
