US Customers, please be advised:
Starting August 20, 2025 I will be putting a temporary shipping pause on ALL orders to the UNITED STATES. 
The   US Government will be removing the ‘de minimis’ rule for goods  entering  the United States  as of August 29, 2025. This means that all  goods  shipped to the United States may be subject to a 35% tariff. 
My   products should be exempt from the tariffs under the USMCA free trade   agreement. I am exploring how to document and implement shipping my  kits  and books exempt under USMCA. I hope this can be resolved and that  I  can resume shipping to my US customers soon.
Please note: Shipping is Included for this item.
