Tariff Information for US Customers
The situation around tariffs in the USA is very dynamic and changing, but this is what we know so far and how it impacts your orders from our Canadian shop. Updated Aug 22nd 2025.
We have paused our shipping to the USA until further notice.
A recent US presidential executive order removes the de minimis exemption, which allows orders under $800 to enter the US free of duties. Starting August 29th all packages of any value or country of origin will have tariffs applied to them to enter the USA.
We’re pausing US shipping until this change settles a bit and to give us time to find a shipping solution that gets your supplies to you without the risk of surprise fees upon delivery.
We’re keeping a close eye on the situation and we’ll keep updating you with any changes
We are not accepting new orders to the USA at this time. But rest assured if you have already placed an order, all open US orders will be shipped out before the Aug 29th deadline.

For orders placed between May 2nd and Aug 11th that contained products of China Origin, please note that your order was shipped with Canada Post, and may have tariffs applied to your order.
As of May 2nd 2025, the USA has ended the $800USD duty-free de minimis exemption for all goods from China, this includes goods that are made in China not just goods that are being shipped from China, so all products made in china of any value entering the USA are subject to these tariffs.
The tariffs are not included in the cost of your order and will be calculated by the courier and charged to you at or before the time of delivery.
Please be aware that if an order contains even a single item with a Chinese origin—regardless of the origin of the other items—the entire shipment will be subject to tariffs. In some cases, splitting your order into separate orders may help minimize tariff fees, especially for higher valued orders.
Orders that do not contain products from China will continue to ship duty-free until August 29th.
We are not responsible for any taxes, tariffs or duties applied to your order. Please be aware that tariff rules can change on a whim.
