China & USA "Trump" Tariffs
Updated 1 September 2025:
As of today, all DUKE10 orders shipped into the USA must be shipped DDP (delivered duty paid) so you will know up-front the exact cost of receiving your new banjolele, however, you MUST CONTACT US so we can prepare a quote/invoice for your purchase of a DUKE10. You need to send us your delivery address so we can prepare a personalised invoice for the final price to pay, including delivery to your door.

There is currently another 90-day period of things being "in limbo" while the US government decides what the supposed final "Trump Tariffs" will be for products originating from China (which the DUKE10 does). So, for now, even though we have stock available, we are disabling the ability to place your own order if you live in the United States.
You can place an order, but you MUST contact us if you wish to get a DUKE10 and you live in the United States. Simply use our CONTACT PAGE and we will get back to you ASAP.
The good news is we are in the process of updating our shipping procedures for US orders, and hopefully before the end of August 2025, they will be able to be sent DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), which means you will know up front how much the tariffs/charges/fees will be, and the charges will be added to your order at the time of ordering. This will remove any uncertainty about how much you may or may not pay when your order crosses the border from our Canadian distribution hub into the United States.
Updated 17 July 2025:
After extensive research, we are currently unable to ascertain what the tariffs are likely to be on the DUKE10 when it arrives in the US, so are temporarily NOT SHIPPING ORDERS TO THE UNITED STATES. We apologise for any inconvenience, but following recent issues with several orders (refunds & shipping delays) it is not worth our risk to ship into the US until this crazy, and seemingly random, tariff issue is resolved.
Updated 24 May 2025:
There is a current 90 day change to the tariff amount, which commenced on 14 May. We believe it is now set at 30% of the retail price of the goods, but there is no way for us to guarantee what you will actually be charged. You MUST contact us BEFORE placing an order if you live in the USA. Simply use our CONTACT PAGE and we will get back to you ASAP.
We send all orders to the US as DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) so all costs/fees/taxes/tariffs are your responsibility.

If you live in the United States, then you are very likely wondering what the heck is going on with the tariffs. Well, your guess is as good as ours to be honest!
But, for now, it appears that you will pay a LOT MORE for any product you purchase that has China as its country of origin, as the DUKE10 Banjolele does.
So, in order to ensure you are aware of the situation, we request that you CONTACT US before placing an order for a DUKE10 Banjolele so we can clarify the current situation and how it may affect your order as it crosses the border into the US.
Simply enter your details below and we will be in touch as soon as we can.
