In summer, you cannot even trust the Swiss postal services. It's therefore time to get started for our September prep! Nominate your soap below; nominations close on Saturday evening 22:00 CEST.

And a question to you: since tariff-apocalypse will hit before our next installment of BVWSC (unless ๐ŸŒฎ), do you know how this would work with smushes sent to the US? Until now, I declared truthfully that the letters contained something else than ink and paper, but I wouldn't want you to be hit with a 120$ minimum tariff upon receipt of your smush. And I cannot seem to be unable to find reliable sources on this issue.

I'm unsure how the tariff situation might affect sending smushes internationally. I'd probably lean toward just shipping the soap in an envelope and pretending it's a letter.
