Import duties and taxes are charged by your country's customs, not by us, and are payable on delivery. The United States ended its $800 duty-free exemption on 29 August 2025, so US orders now attract duty at every value. The EU introduces a flat €3 duty per item on goods below €150 from 1 July 2026.

Where it comes from

Peach wood has been carved in China for at least two thousand years. The 禮記 — a text compiled around the fifth century BCE — records peach wood rods used in ritual, and the association was already old when it was written down. That is a fact about people, not about wood: what the carvers believed is documented, and whether they were right is not something this shop has an opinion on.
