I love the placemats I bought from your site as well as the beautiful pillows I have bought in past visits to South Africa. But I highly caution anyone purchasing and shipping products to the U. S. in 2026. I was shocked to get a bill for 50% of my purchase in duty tax. The bill said pay $218. 00 USD or they will destroy the placemats as it is too expensive to send them back. A caution to anyone shipping to the USA. Could be Trump tariff. The staff at Kaross wrote they have received other messages regarding new high duty tax to US. Be prepared for a huge duty tax bill. I paid the tax as I did not want the beautiful placemats destroyed.

I liked what I got. I only paid about 40 % tax on it - and this becomes much too expensive then.
