For USA Customers - Tariff Implications

UPDATED AUGUST 20, 2025

Unfortunately we have had to pause shipping to the USA, due to tariff changes by the US government. Our shipping partners have paused transporting goods across the border until systems are in place to allow transparency in costs to the customer in the USA.

We are experiencing, in 2025, a shift in trade between the USA and the rest of the world in how business is done on an international platform.

The US government has instituted tariffs on all products at varying rates depending upon the shipping countries/country of origin. These tariffs are paid by the customer receiving the goods whether it be a wholesaler or an individual person. The shipper does not pay the tariff.

Until August 29th, 2025, US customers were allowed an exemption to bring in $800.00 USD under a de minimus ruling, without paying duties. This has now been revoked by the US government and all product will have duties and fees attached to them depending upon the HTS code. This code is issued by the US government and all suppliers must code their products with a specific code. This will enable US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) to collect the duty from the receiver.

Because this is a monumental change in how trade is done, there is going to be some twists and turns, so I have decided to pause shipping to the USA as of August 24th. I will no longer accept orders originating from the USA until it is more transparent as to what the costs will be for you, the customer, when you are making your purchase. Keeping my fingers crossed that the de minimus will not be revoked.

So if there is something you had your eye on, now is the time to purchase it to take advantage of the duty free option available to you until August 29th.

Remember last order date will be August 24th, 2025.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Any questions please do not hesitate in contacting us.

UPDATED MARCH 4th, 2025 

• Tariffs (varying %) started on March 4th 12:01am for all goods imported into the USA from various countries including Canada. This is at the direction of the current US government.

  Please note that none of our product is sourced from China but are either sourced from Canada, Europe, UK or South Africa.

  Our understanding is that at this time, because of the countries of origin, there is an addendum that still allows for the personal exemption, which is $800.00 USD. So there should be no tariff on your order for items purchased at our online store. This may change at a moments notice.

  If and when this exemption is removed this is how your order will be processed by the US Border Patrol.....

  
  

  All shipments to the USA will already have harmonized codes and a country of origin tagged to the product. This will facilitate the application and payment of tariffs if applicable. USA customers will be responsible for the payment of these tariffs as it is implemented by US Border control and not Canada. We, as the supplier of the product from Canada are not responsible for the processing, implementation or collection of these taxes.

  We will be using the USPS service and they will collect, from you the customer, the applicable tariff for the US government. Please note that this is a tax on the American consumer and is paid by the American consumer. If you should refuse to pay the tariff, the parcel will be disposed of by USBP and we will not be able to refund your purchase.

  There MAY BE a delay in your receiving your parcel due to additional processing by the USA border control.

  This whole matter is quite fluid and so updates will be posted here.

  ~ Thank you for your patience and understanding and if you have any questions about this matter please do not hesitate in calling or emailing us.
