Dear SWIT Airsoft Customers,

The U.S. government has recently imposed an additional 20% tariff on most products imported from Taiwan.This surcharge is applied on top of the existing base duty rate (MFN), which means the total landed cost for some orders may increase.

📦 Shipping Update to the U.S.

Due to current carrier policy changes, all shipments to the United States must be sent via UPS.Airmail and EMS services are temporarily suspended for all U.S. destinations until further remains the most reliable and efficient option for delivering airsoft products to the U.S. safely and on time.

💰 How Is the Duty Calculated?

U.S. Import Duty = Base Duty Rate (MFN) + 20% Additional Tariff

Category	Base Duty	Total Duty (Approx.)
Rifles (AEG / GBBR, etc.)	3.9%	≈ 23.9%
Pistols / Shotguns	0%	≈ 20%
Parts & Accessories (handguards, grips, magazines, etc.)	3.9%	≈ 23.9%

Note: Duty is calculated based on the declared product value shipping costs are generally not included in the dutiable amount,but couriers may charge separate customs clearance or brokerage fees.

🧾 Who Will Be Affected?

All U.S. orders imported from Taiwan may now be subject to the new tariff.
