Does anyone know a dealer in the U.S. who carries Wotancraft?
B&H doesn't list them in their website. I can order one direct but the current state of tariff's and global shipping disruptions is making things just a little bit harder.
So, looking for a dealer who might have them in stock here in 'Merica.

Update: Wotancraft replied and they only sell direct from their website. And so far there are no price increases due to policies outside their control.
If you are concerned about possible tariff-related fluctuations in the price that you might pay for imported Wotancraft bags, you might try mukama dot com. The prices that they list include all shipping-related fees including the tariff. I suspect that the price would be similar to what you would pay directly to Wotancraft when the additional charges are added in.
I purchased two Wotancraft bags from mukama recently, and it was fine. They respond promptly to emails, and shipping to California took about two days. FWIW, I really like the Pilot 7L bag.

Thanks! Soon after posting my question, staff at Wotancraft sent me a message that they don't have a US dealer. I ordered the Pilot 3.5L direct and was surprised by how quick it got here. I'm using it to carry a medium sized pair of binoculars and like it quite a bit. I may order the Pilot 7L in the future for a smaller camera kit.

I ordered a bag from Wotancraft back in June and it was delivered promptly with no issues.
Until today...I just rceieved a Department of Homeland Security invoice from Fedex for $62.83 to cover import duties. Otherwise known as Tariffs.
That's a hefty surcharge on a $160 purchase,. The SCOTUS declared the tariffs illegal on February 26th 2026 so I'm not sure to proceed. I realize the legal situation is murky.
The bag is nice but it's not a $220 bag, I will not be buying any more items from Wotancraft unless there is an official US-based importer that removes this risk to the consumer. I advise others to do the same.

I had the same thing happen on a bag I ordered from them last fall. The FedEx tariff bill came much later, the same week that the tariffs were declared illegal, so I'm holding off on paying it. I figure they'll send another invoice if they decide it's actually due.
I had also ordered two additional items from Wotancraft that I now expect to receive a Tariff charge for.
It's a 40% surcharge, a tax imposed on the US consumer
Wotancraft products are truly excellent, and this situtaion is not their fault. Neither is it the fault of Fedex.
Even if Wotancraft finds an American distributor the products will still be subject to Tariffs, their short term outlook for US exports is bleak.
Their products are made in Taiwan, a US ally,
Maybe we can post Wotancraft Bags US Tariff surcharge so we can keep track... I see it's still 40%. I pad that last year as well. It's a big shock to get that bill in the mail...
I just received another demand from FedEx for a Department Of Homeland Security tariff charge. This is for a different order than the one I first mentioned. I expect to receive two more of these tax charges.
It appears FedEx is being reimbursed for these charges by the Federal Government, following the SCOTUS ruling that the tariffs are illegal. FedEx promises to reimburse individual consumers for these charges.
Will update this channel if this actually happens.
