Effect of the new US Tariffs
US Tariffs
We have currently not yet figured out how to make Australia Post Shipping to the USA available on our web site with the tariffs and customs fees built in. THIS ONLY AFFECTS USA. Shipping via DHL to USA is still available and all customers should choose DHL shipping.
Wifitrax products are made in Australia, not China or Hong Kong. Australia is the country of origin of all Wifitrax products.
Australia does NOT apply any tariffs to imports from the USA, although all imports are subject to Goods and Services Tax, a sales tax, exactly the same as goods made in Australia which businesses can reclaim.
The current administration under President Trump, removed the de-minimis exemption for all countries, including Australia on August 29 2025. Thus all shipments from Australia will be subject to the 10% tariff and fees. Read the White House Fact Sheet
Wifitrax has not changed the prices of most of its products since introduction, so unfortunately you as a US customer will have to pay whatever tariffs apply. Two options seem to be available to the carrier (1) Ad Valorum, where you as the importer are charged the applicable Australia rate of 10% (2) (for 6 months) Specific Duty, where you are charged a fixed fee per item between $80 and $200 (presumably this would be $80 for Australia which seems to assume that all shipments are $800). The specific duty method appears very unfair and hopefully it will not be used.
We think that a 10% tariff is a small price to pay for the benefit of our unique products.

Retail USA Customers
When exported to the USA from Australia, as far as we understand, our products are subject to a 10% tariff by the US Customs and Border Protection plus a customs fee we believe US$20-30. The De-minimus exception no longer applies and you as the importer will have to pay these fees usualy to DHL as the carrier..Wifitrax USA Dealers
Wifitrax USA dealer's orders are subject to a 10% tariff and customs fees, and therefore dealers may understandably factor this into their pricing accordingly. Usually buying from Wifitrax dealers will save you time and shipping costs.De-Minimis Shipments
Update December 2025: Australia Post is accepting shipments to the USA but Wifitrax has not yet applied the extra fees to our US prices, so all shipments to USA must go via DHL who will collect tariffs and fees from recipients.The current administration under President Trump, removed the de-minimis exemption for all countries, including Australia on August 29 2025.

Wifitrax Component Sourcing
90% of the components used to make our products come from distributors in the USA thus we help in a small way to support jobs in the USA. Many components supplied by US distributors, stocked and shipped from distributors in the USA, are sourced from countries such as Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, China etc. Components shipped from USA to Wifitrax in Australia are NOT tariffs by Australia and thus the prices we pay are not affected. Should this change in the future we may need to adjust our prices.Disclaimer: All of the above is supplied as guidance to our customer and is correct to the best of our current knowledge.
