US Tariff Breakdown: What You Need To Know

International Shipping & Tariffs on the Z1: What to Expect

We get it—importing high-end coffee gear can feel confusing, especially when tariffs enter the picture. So let’s break it down simply.

What’s a Tariff?

It’s a tax your country may place on physical goods imported across borders. That means your Z1 hardware is eligible for tariffs—but any digital content, apps, or online learning resources are not. Additionally, trade agreements between countries could deem some hardware components not eligible for tariffs. 

Here’s how that breaks down with your Z1 purchase:

Z1 Total Price: $1,398

Grinder Hardware Value (eligible for tariff): $699

1 x SSP Burrs (made in South Korea): $199

Zerno Sessions (digital - not eligible for tariff): $500

Example:

If your country charges a 10% import tax, the tariff would be based only on the $699 hardware, meaning you’d owe just under $70. The rest—the online classes and education—comes to you digitally, with no additional import costs.

We hope this helped clear up some of the confusion around tariffs, and what it could mean for you when your Z1 gets delivered. Still have questions? We’re happy to help.
