US Tariffs
As ofĀ May 2, 2025, the U.S. government hasĀ removed theĀ de minimisĀ exemption, which previously allowed low-value packages (under $800) to enter the country duty-free if shipped from abroad.
Because of this change,Ā all U.S. orders containing goods made in China are now subject to high import tariffs, even if they ship from Canada (like ours).
The U.S. Govenment is imposing 100% tariffs on goods made in China, as well as 25% tariffs on goods being imported from Canada. And the U.S. Government has imposed a $100 USD minimum tariff fee.
While we proudly design all of our items in Canada, our products areĀ manufactured in China, which means U.S. Customs now applies tariffs based on theĀ country of originānot the shipping location.
What this means for you:
- You may be chargedĀ $100+ in import duties and tariffs per package, even for smaller orders.
- These fees areĀ not includedĀ in your checkout total and will be collected by the delivery service before your package is released.
- SOL KYST is not responsibleĀ for these additional charges.
As of May 7, 2025 - SOL KYST has temporarily closed shipping to US addresses, as we do not want our customers facing any unexpected charges upon delivery. a

Can I customize the fit of my Sol Kyst glasses?
Did you know you can get a more custom fit with your Sol Kyst sunnies with a quick at home DIY?
Check out this Tik Tok where Meghan shows you how you can slightly adjust the size of the glasses and get a more custom fit for you. It works phenomenally well if you have a low nose bridge or find our glasses a tiny bit big. We use heat from a blow dryer or hot water to gently mold the glasses to your face. This works due to us using such a high quality and strong but heat flexible material called acetate. Check out the tik tok below or reach out for more help!
*If you try the technique in the Tik Tok you are no longer eligible for a refund.*

How should I care for my Sol Kyst glasses?
We are so excited for you to have sunglasses that fit & flatter you and express your personal style. Please follow along with our care guide to give you the best years with your Kyst Eyewear glasses.
1) As simple as it is store your glasses when you're not wearing them. We provide you a beautiful soft touch case to keep your sunnies well protected. This will keep dust and dirt away but also protects your shades from getting scratched, bent or broken.
2) NEVER use paper towels, tissue, or napkins to dry or clean your lenses. All of these materials have a textured surface and can easily scratch your lenses. Please use yourĀ Kyst Eyewear lens cloth to clean your lenses.
3) Always rinse your glasses off with water before wiping or cleaning them. Any tiny particles of dust or dirt can settle on your lens, and if you wipe those around on a dry lens, it can be abrasive. If you're going to use a chemical, use sprays or cleansers that are specifically made to clean eyeglass lenses.
4) Every-time you put on yourĀ Kyst Eyewear frames, remember to take a look in the mirror and give yourself a wink or a smile, because you look amazing! Now go take on your day!
