New rules, new risks and a smarter way to ship to the US
Recent US tariff changes and the removal of the de minimis exemption mean you’re now responsible for duties and taxes on every US-bound shipment, no matter the order value.
If you’re not collecting these charges upfront, you're exposing your business to:
- Delayed deliveries
- Rejected shipments
- Unexpected costs and lost revenue

How does this solution work?
Starshipit has partnered with Zonos, a leading cross-border technology provider, to manage duty and tax calculations and remittance. When you enable landed cost in Starshipit, Zonos provides the duty and tax data in real time, and automatically remits those charges to US Customs. The key difference is that you don’t need to set up or manage a separate Zonos account – everything runs through your Starshipit account and invoice.
Already using Zonos with Australia Post?
If you’re using the Zonos option through Australia Post, switching to Starshipit’s landed cost solution is simple – and much more comprehensive.
With Starshipit, you don’t need a separate Zonos account or multiple invoices. Everything – shipping rates, duties and taxes, billing, and compliance – is managed in one place.
Our solution fully replaces the Australia Post/Zonos integration. Just activate it in Starshipit, and you’ll gain the most complete landed cost solution available, backed by the our landed cost guarantee.
