Hello Again, America! 🇺🇸 We’re Shipping to the USA Again!

It’s been a while, America, and we’ve missed you!

After months of changing regulations, customs paperwork, technical challenges and more cups of tea than we care to count, we have some wonderful news.

Hebridean Tea Store is finally shipping to the United States again!

We know that many of our American customers have been waiting patiently for this moment, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome you back.

Whether you’ve been missing your favourite Scottish tea blends, fancy trying something new or simply want a little taste of the Outer Hebrides delivered to your doorstep, we’re delighted to be sending our parcels across the Atlantic once more.

A few things have changed

As you may know, international shipping to the United States has become rather more complicated.

We’ve spent a considerable amount of time behind the scenes updating our shipping arrangements, checking product restrictions and working out how to handle the new customs requirements.

The good news is that you can now see the applicable customs and import charges during checkout, alongside your shipping costs, before you place your order.

There are just a few things worth mentioning:

• Customs and import fees: These are calculated at checkout according to the products in your basket and their country of origin.
• Processing and handling: A flat £2.50 customs processing and handling fee applies to US orders to help cover the additional administration and documentation.
• Product availability: Unfortunately, some products cannot currently be shipped to the United States. We’ve updated our shop to reflect these restrictions.

We know that shipping across the Atlantic isn’t cheap, and we’ve done our best to make the costs as clear as possible.

From our little island to your doorstep

We pack every order with care here in Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis, before it begins its journey across the Atlantic.

We’re a small independent business, and welcoming our American customers back means a great deal to us.

So, to everyone who has emailed, asked about shipping, or simply waited patiently while we sorted everything out: thank you.

The kettle’s on, the tea shelves are full, and we’re ready to send a little Hebridean happiness your way again.

Welcome back, America. We’ve missed you! ❤️

With warm wishes from the Outer Hebrides,

The Hebridean Tea Store Team
