The USA has announced that the "de minimis" exemption for imports (the threshold below which imported goods won’t need to be charged duties and fees) from all countries will be eliminated as of August 29th 2025. Therefore, all shipments to the US—regardless of value—will be subject to applicable duties and customs clearance.
I must temporarily suspend my shipments to the United Sates, pending the changes that will take effect on August 29th. This will give me time to understand and learn what to expect and what to do when it starts. I will also see what eBay and Canada Post will do to comply with this new way of shipping to the American market.
This will have a significant impact on my business as most of my orders ship to the United States. I will probably use UPS or FedEx while waiting for Canada Post.
The good news is that eIS (eBay International Shipping) is coming to Canada this fall. Maybe it will help Canadian sellers.
