UPDATE on USA Import tariffs as of the 3rd September 2025

We are pleased to announce a resumption of sales to the USA, as orders can now be sent via Royal Mail DDP (Delivery Duties Paid) service, which meets the new US customs requirements since the removal of the De minimis $800 duty free threshold. The import duty will be added to your order at the checkout stage and forwarded to US customs by the carrier on your behalf after shipping, enabling your purchase to process through US customs without further duties applied.

ANNOUNCEMENT from Nick Eleftheriou – 25th July 2025

After over 20 years, I have decided to step down from the day to day running of the website and would like to express my gratitude to everybody who has supported Scientific Collectables over the years. I'm also grateful for the friendships I've made along the way, from both fellow collectors as well as customers. However, I'm happy to say the website will continue in the capable hands of my son Christopher who has been working with me for the last 5 years, so I know the website will be in good hands!
