Suspension of postal services to the US
Until further notice, Little Tree Studio can no longer ship to our American customers. This has come as a result of the recently introduced changes to the import tariff requirements (US Executive Order 14324).

Australia Post has halted some postage to the United States and Puerto Rico, effective immediately and until further notice.
The change is a response to President Donald Trump’s tariff regime and changes to customs rules for parcels. Until now, low-value packages en route to the US were subject to what’s known as “de minimis” treatment, which allowed parcels worth less than US$800 to enter the country duty-free.
Trump signed an executive order in July 2025 ending the de minimis treatment, effective on 29 August. Parcels will be subject to duties equivalent to the tariffs imposed on that country and Australian goods are now subject to the baseline 10% tariff.
