When I started selling my handmade jewellery online in 2008, it was so easy.

You could ship pretty much anywhere, for just a few dollars, and the world was my oyster!

Globalisation was the theme of the time, and the internet was still in its flush of 2.0 growth – the world of online business was only just beginning to pick up momentum, and anything felt possible.

Things have changed.

Over the last few years, especially, there have been numerous laws and regulations brought in around the world that have made selling internationally more and more difficult.

And now, with the US tariff situation – throwing one of the biggest English-speaking markets into turmoil – the situation is more unsure than ever.

Today, I wanted to discuss this evolving situation, and open up discussion for you to share your experiences.

Whether you’re outside or inside the US, these changes affect you, and I believe it’s only going to become more difficult over time, as countries seem to be becoming more insular, and free trade seems to be waning.
