Shipping and Tariffs

Shipping to the USA – What You Need to Know

We ship directly from Canada to the United States. Please note:

• As of August 29, 2025, the U.S. de minimis exemption (which previously allowed imports under $800 to enter duty-free) has been fully eliminated. The Times of India+14The Washington Post+14The Guardian+14

• Now, every shipment—regardless of value—is subject to tariffs and customs duties. Depending on the package and origin, you may face:

  • Percentage-based duties

• You’ll see only the shipping cost at checkout. Any applicable U.S. customs duties or import fees will be collected separately by U.S. Customs or your carrier upon delivery.

• This may result in longer delivery times and added expenses, so please plan accordingly.

Will I be charged customs duties or tariffs when shipping to the U.S.?

Yes. As of August 29, 2025, the U.S. has eliminated the duty-free "de minimis" exemption for all imports, meaning every order—regardless of its value—is now subject to import duties and handling fees. While our checkout shows only shipping costs, any additional duties are billed separately by customs or your carrier upon delivery. We recommend checking U.S. Customs and Border Protection or your carrier’s website to better estimate these costs up front. Express carriers (like FedEx, UPS, DHL) often offer Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) options to cover all charges up front—feel free to contact us if you'd like help exploring that.
