On 30th July 2025, the United States Government announced a new Executive Order which outlined significant changes to customs obligations and processes for goods being imported into the USA from 29th August 2025. From Friday 29 August 2025 US customs requirements changed. This means that we can, sadly, no longer export our publications to the USA.
