Last update: 4 April 2025.
What we know so far
As you might have read, as of 4 March 2025, the US is applying a 25% tariff on products made in Canada. There is still much uncertainty about it all and we’re feeling a little overwhelmed trying to find the most accurate information from the most trusted sources.
The good news
There’s a silver lining—for now. Orders entering the U.S. via Section 321 (de minimis program), i.e. orders valued under $800 US, are temporarily exempt from these new tariffs, which means smaller packages can still make their way to you without extra fees. This exemption will stay in place until the US Customs and Borders Protection (CBP) sets up new systems to process tariffs on these “low-value” shipments.
All the information above still holds true after the latest announcement of 2 April 2025. That being said, starting 2 May 2025, de minimis entry will no longer apply to goods made in China and Hong Kong. It remains unclear if these tariffs will apply solely to goods shipped directly from China and Hong Kong, or if they will also affect shipments sent from other countries, such as Canada, but with a Country of Origin listed as China or Hong Kong. We only have one product made in China: our “Les Garçons de Montréal" Souvenir Pin Bundle.
The bottom line
For now, there will be no additional fees beyond what you are already paying at checkout. Moreover, at the time of writing, we have been told that shipments are moving as expected with no delays. We will continue to monitor updates from CBP and the Administration.
Thank you for your continued support!
