I thought it would be like selling UK to EU on a marketplace and Amazon being the Marketplace-Facilitator they would add the tax on top of your sale price and they collect it and pay it.
But Im guessing Amazon will not be ready for this yet, we have options with our carriers ready for this, if Amazon do not charge the customer we would need to add the tax & duties on top of our prices and ship via DDP, our carrier will pay the tax and duties and back charge us.
Says that I have been told off to different carriers there is talk of the date getting put back maybe.

Hi greensleeves_boo_123,
This may not be any use to you, but it was posted on Abebooks a little while ago:
"As of April 4, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has just released Guidance 64649265confirming that “Informational materials” are exempt from Executive Order, “Regulating Imports with a Reciprocal Tariff to Rectify Trade Practices that Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits,” issued on April 2, 2025 (CSMS # 64649265, 9903.01.31). The definition of informational material includes books, maps, photography and artwork."
So "Books should continue to be tariff free into the USA other than from or produced in China and Russia."
All Best
Brian
