USA Shipping Suspended

TLDR; Effective immediately, Chalk Rebels will no longer ship to the United States.

Recent U.S. tariff changes now demand duties prepaid on every shipment, but authorities haven’t provided the systems to do so. The result is gridlock: parcels stuck, returned, or destroyed. At this point, it’s nearly impossible to find a carrier willing to deliver goods into the U.S.

Everyone’s Pulling Out

We’re not alone. Major providers are backing away:

• bpost (Belgium): halted parcels with goods as of August 23.

• PostNord (Sweden–Denmark) & Posten Bring (Norway): suspended goods shipments.

• Austrian Post: paused most parcels.

• DHL Germany: stopped business parcels; only Express remains.

• France, Slovenia, Scandinavia, Australia, Singapore, South Korea: multiple postal networks scaling back or stopping service.

What This Means for U.S. Climbers

We know it’s frustrating. But chalk is just the surface. The same instability now hitting climbing products is affecting supply chains everywhere in the USA. American Exceptionalism is over. Life is only going to get more expensive and difficult for you and it can all be traced back to a single man: Donald Trump. You voted the orange pedo turd in office. Now it's time for you to remove him with whatever means necessary.

How You Can Help

In 2025, Chalk Rebels has put a lot of energy into building a solid distributor network so climbers can get our products locally and without hassle. We now have partners in the UK, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, and New Zealand. We are in great company as these distributors also work with major brands like Alien Cams, DMM, Lattice, So iLL, E9, Metolius, Singing Rock, Tenaya, and Wild Country. The next step is the U.S. and we are on the lookout for a serious partner there. If you know the right people, we would love an intro.

Final Word

Until the U.S. provides clear, workable rules, we can’t ship there. We’ll keep serving Europe and beyond, but for now, America is off the map.
