Tattoo flash 13 - Hot one

August has been a quiet month, we closed the website for a little rest and relaxation during a nice little heatwave in the U.K..

During this time of rest and relaxation we have also been thinking new and cool ideas to bring to Balloon Ace.

And!!! dealing extensively with navigating the new export requirements to the USA since the abolishment of the Di Minis Exemptions on 29 August 2025 which essentially means that all shipments to the USA are now required to be accompanied by paid import tax.

We are happy to say that at the time of this blog's release Balloon Ace is the only European based balloon seller who is legally shipping to the USA. Our planning paid off and we are happy that our disruption for our USA based customers was limited to only four days. We know that you guys rely on us and that's why we pulled out all the stops to make sure that we continue to be there. 

Because of our rest and thinking time unfortunately this blog will be a little short.

It's not all bad news though. We have been partnering up with new balloon models and also have some new colab balloons scheduled for release later this month. So stay tuned for some exciting new things coming later this month.

Unfortunately, that's it for now!

Until next month

Next month our plans are to include the following:

• More balloon related tattoo flash
• More balloon related factoids
• More musings from the team behind Balloon Ace

As always, we welcome everyone to participate and get involved at Balloon Ace. We exclude nobody!

As a reminder keep sending your photos with Balloon Ace balloons so that we can feature them on our BAT Punks Instagram.

Pump some punk rock into your balloons!

We are Balloon Ace!

Thanks

Nicky & Glen
