Recent German reports claimed the Starling Hub has been withdrawn from sale due to US customs policy. I checked official and legal sources:
What Starling says
Starling’s own post explains their prices rose (from $99 to $129) because of increased import costs and tariffs — it does not state the product has been discontinued. See: Starling Home: Why have our prices gone up.
US policy context
The US suspended the de minimis import exemption, affecting low-value shipments and increasing customs costs for many products. This change can lead to higher retail prices for imported hardware. See: White & Case: US suspends de minimis entry.
Bottom line
Current evidence points to a price increase caused by tariffs and import policy changes, not a confirmed discontinuation of the Starling Hub. I could not find an Amazon listing or an official statement saying the product sale was stopped.
