Passion Radio Suspends US Shipments Following Tariff Increase

Many thanks to David (F1JXQ) who notes that his radio retailer, Passion Radio in France, has temporarily suspended shipments to the United States.

This decision follows:

  • A new 15% US tariff on goods imported from the European Union.
  • Service suspensions by La Poste (as of August 25, 2025) and new UPS processing fees (effective September 8, 2025).
  • Added complexity with US customs procedures and brokerage charges billed directly to buyers at delivery.

The company hopes to resume shipments once a fair and reliable shipping solution is found.
