Important Information for US Customers: Import Duties on Steel and Aluminium Orders
If you’re based in the United States and planning to order UTIL products, please note the following regarding customs duties and fees on aluminium and steel imports.
The US government applies Section 232 tariffs on these materials:
- 10% tariff on aluminium products
- 25% tariff on steel products (applies only to the Basso and HAL)
Since UTIL ships on a DAP (Delivered at Place) basis:
- We take care of delivery to your address in the US, including all logistics and freight costs.
- As the importer of record, you are responsible for paying all applicable duties and taxes directly to US Customs or the courier (UPS/DHL) before your goods are released.
We recommend checking directly with UPS or DHL Express for a full breakdown of the import process and fees. While the tariffs are fixed percentages, the total cost can vary depending on product classification and country of origin.
For official details, please see the U.S. International Trade Administration.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with our sales team at shop@thisisutil.com.
We’ll be glad to help.
