5% TRADE TARIFF TO BE ADDED TO ALL USA ORDERS
Recent US-UK trade tariffs came into effect on 29th August 2025, imposing a 10% charge on auto parts imported from the UK to the USA. As all our products are manufactured in the United Kingdom, this applies to us.
Whilst this tariff remains in place we unfortunately have to add a surcharge to each order. We want to share this charge 50/50 with our customers, and so we are imposing a 5% tariff, and incurring the remaining 5%.
This 5% tariff will be added as a ‘tax’ at the final checkout.
The special relationship between the UK and USA has meant that the tariff is a lower 10% than many other countries, and so we hope that this remains an acceptable amount and you are able to continue to purchase your parts direct from Traction Direct.
Canada and Rest Of World customers remain unaffected, and remember there is always free shipping to USA customers.
