Dear Arkel Community,
Due to recent changes in U.S. trade policy, significant tariffs have been applied to imported goods manufactured in most countries — including those containing aluminum components.
In addition, the removal of the de minimis exemption on August 29th now subjects even small shipments to U.S. customs duties, brokerage, and handling fees, further increasing the final cost for our customers.
As a result, these combined import duties and fees have made it financially unsustainable for us to continue offering certain products in the U.S. market ; ORCA's Panniers
We’ve therefore made the difficult decision to temporarily remove these items from our U.S. website while we explore long-term solutions.
Some of our U.S. dealers may still have these products in stock, so we invite you to check our Dealer locator for U.S. bike shop list if you’re looking for a specific Arkel item.
We understand these products have earned the trust of many riders over the years, and this decision was not made lightly. In keeping with our values of fairness and transparency, we feel it’s important to communicate openly about price increases caused by trade barriers beyond our control.
We continue to offer a wide range of Canadian-made Arkel bags, all designed and handcrafted in Sherbrooke, Quebec, using premium U.S.-made fabrics.
While the cost of American materials and components has also increased since these tariffs were implemented, we remain firmly committed to local manufacturing, durability, and sustainability.
Please note that for all available products, your checkout total is all-inclusive — meaning you’ll never face surprise customs duties or taxes upon delivery.
We truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.
If you have any questions or need help finding alternatives, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always happy to help.
Thank you for supporting Arkel.
