PSA Pauses Card Grading Submissions from Outside the US due to Tariff Concerns

Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) has announced that it is no longer taking submissions from outside of the US due to the recent tariffs enacted by President Donald Trump.

The move by PSA is temporary and in order to protect international customers from tariff expenses. The tariffs would be against the value of orders rather than the fee PSA charges for their service.

There are still options to submit to the service outside of the United States which you can read on their site as well as the company’s full statement.

In their example an order valued at $500 would be subject to an tariff of $50 at 10% and $100 at 20%. Some tariff percentages are far higher in some countries.

Where the negative really comes in are cards that have already been sent but not yet delivered. Orders entering the US after 12:01AM on April 5th may be affected by tariffs, and may also face “not-yet-announced” retaliatory tariffs when they are sent back.
