US shipping is paused (again).

We're really sorry to our American mates — but as of 23 July 2026, the US Government has applied a new 12.5% tariff on Australian imports, on top of existing swimwear duty. The rules changed overnight, the platforms haven't caught up, and right now we're being charged around 40% on every pair we ship over.

That maths doesn't work for a small independent brand like ours. Rather than pass a huge unexpected fee onto you at checkout, or wear it ourselves and go broke doing it, we've decided to pause US orders until the dust settles.

We'll keep an eye on it and reopen when we can do it fairly.

If you're in the US and want to be notified when we're back, drop us a line at adam@sluggers.com.au.

Thanks for your patience.
