Does ASOS Charge Customs & Import Duty? (2026)

ASOS ships US orders from the UK and generally operates a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) model, collecting estimated duties and taxes at checkout so the price you pay is meant to be the final landed price with no carrier bill on delivery. Because ASOS goods are UK-origin, the duty picture differs from China retailers — the UK sits at a 10% base reciprocal layer plus apparel MFN rates. Confirm the duties-included total shown at checkout.

Does ASOS charge customs or import duty for US orders in 2026? Yes — the $800 duty-free rule is gone — but ASOS usually handles it cleanly. ASOS ships to the US from the UK and typically collects estimated duties and taxes at checkout (DDP), so you generally pay a duties-included price and avoid a surprise carrier bill. Here's what that means for a UK apparel order.

The one rule that applies to every retailer now: the $800 de minimis exemption is gone for all countries, so there is no longer a duty-free threshold. Typical ASOS orders run about $60–$150 in clothing and apparel, shipped from United Kingdom. The real question isn’t whether duty is owed — it’s who collects it and when: at checkout (a duties-included price) or as a carrier bill on delivery.

Scam AlertOfficial Sources Only

Tariff-refund scams are surging. Here’s how to tell what’s real.

Real refunds come from the carrier you already paid or from CBP — never from a text message. The FTC warns that messages about a “refund” with a link to “verify your information” are a known scam pattern (FTC consumer alert).
No legitimate refund asks for a fee, gift cards, your SSN, or bank login to “release” money. CBP states it never requests sensitive data by email, text, or phone. Browse current schemes at the FTC’s official scam tracker (consumer.ftc.gov).
Verify duties and refunds only on official channels — customs facts at CBP.gov and government payments only through Pay.gov — never a payment link someone sent you.

We track FTC alerts, CBP announcements, and the official UPS/FedEx/DHL refund programs — you get one plain-English email when something affects you. No spam, no “claim now” links, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ASOS charge customs duty to the US in 2026?

Yes. Since the $800 de minimis exemption ended, US ASOS orders owe applicable duty. ASOS generally uses a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) model and collects estimated duties and taxes at checkout, so the total you pay is meant to be the final landed price without a separate carrier bill.

Is duty on ASOS higher or lower than SHEIN?

It depends on the goods, but ASOS ships UK-origin apparel while SHEIN is mostly China-origin. Both carry the clothing MFN base rate plus the 10% base reciprocal layer; Chinese apparel can also carry Section 301 duty on top, which UK goods do not. Use the calculator to compare a specific order.

Will I be billed extra when my ASOS package arrives?

Usually not, if ASOS collected duties at checkout — that DDP charge covers the duty. If your order was shipped without duties collected, a carrier could bill you; keep your checkout receipt to dispute any double charge.
