US duty-free de minimis import exception

Over the years, the US online market has become our largest market. We thank our American customers for your integral support.

However, an executive order signed by the US President effective August 29, 2025 eliminates the long-standing de minimis import exception. For years, this policy has allowed shipments under $800 USD to cross into the U.S. without duties, taxes, or full customs clearance, bypassing the duties and administrative burdens that larger shipments faced. Now every Canadian product, no matter how small, will face full customs clearance and duties when entering the US, including the 35% tariffs which started on August 1st.  

With this change, we need to restructure how we ship orders to the US so that it makes sense financially both to our customers and to our business. Because this situation is evolving, we will be pausing all US orders for the foreseeable future starting August 29, 2025 until there is a workable solution.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this transition.
