We love our American friends. And it pains us to make this announcement.
Shipments to the U.S. are temporarily suspended, effective Aug 23rd, 2025.
“…the United States has suspended its duty-free “de minimis” threshold of US$800 for all countries, including Canada. Starting August 29, 2025, all shipments entering the U.S. must have duties prepaid before crossing the border - regardless of their value.
This change, mandated under U.S. Executive Order 14324, applies to all business shipments from Canada, whether sent through the postal system, a Canadian courier, freight provider, or any commercial channel….
Goods valued at US$800 or less that are shipped to the United States through the postal network will be subject to an ad valorem duty. This duty will be equal to the effective tariff rate applicable to the product’s country of origin under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). For Canada, the current IEEPA rate is 35% for most goods.”
The tariff will be required to be paid up front with new documentation including a “Declaration ID” to show that the tariff has been paid. We are not entirely sure how to go about this. We do not have the resources to dig deeper to get more clarity. On top of that, we really cannot afford to pay 35% more. To avoid jeopardizing any shipment, we have made the sad decision to suspend U.S. shipments for now.
We look forward to serving our U.S. customers again soon. Thank you for your kind understanding.
