Shipping to the USA - Tariffs

Before ordering from the United States, please review the following information regarding import duties and tariffs. These charges are determined by U.S. Customs and are the responsibility of the buyer.

A Note on Customs

While we do everything possible to provide accurate tariff information, final charges are always determined by U.S. Customs at the border. We are committed to being transparent so you know what to expect before you buy.

1. Brokerage & Processing Fees

  • UPS, FedEx, and DHL may charge customs clearance (brokerage) fees in addition to any duties or taxes. These vary by carrier and service level.

  • UPS Standard® shipments from Canada to the U.S. often have a brokerage fee in the $0-10 USD range, while Express/Saver services may include brokerage in the shipping cost.

2. Possible Delays

  • Since the removal of the U.S. de minimis exemption (which previously allowed duty-free entry for shipments under $800 USD), all shipments now require formal customs clearance.

  • CBP and courier brokerage teams are processing higher volumes than usual, which may occasionally result in clearance delays beyond our control. Delays are estimated at 7 days.

🔎 Please Note
