Hi all,
A quick FYI to US hams and buyers: Passion-Radio Shop (France) is pausing US shipments due to the 15% tariff on EU imports, several carrier suspensions, and higher brokerage/processing fees at delivery.
Details & official release: https://www.passion-radio.com/store/hamradio-us-tariff-43
Key points for buyers in the US:
• Duties & taxes are paid by the importer (buyer) upon arrival, not by the seller in Europe.
• Carriers may bill separate brokerage/processing fees locally.
• Real-world example: a €50 part that used to land around $56 may be now up to ~$81.70 (FX + 15% duty + 15$ carrier fee).
We’re working to resume US deliveries as quickly as possible, with no unexpected charges at the doorstep.
We’ll share updates on our website and here in this thread.

David (F1JXQ)
