Big change for Canadians shipping to the U.S. As of August 29, the United States has officially ended the de minimis exemption, which allowed packages under $800 USD to cross the border duty-free.
What does this mean for Canadians, Canadian businesses, and cross-border shoppers?
-Every package entering the U.S. from Canada can now face tariffs, duties, and delays
-Small businesses, creators, and Canadian Etsy/Shopify sellers could be hit hard
-Canadian consumers and U.S. buyers will see higher costs and slower delivery
In this video, Randall Arsenault breaks down:
-What the end of the de minimis exemption really means
-How this affects Canadian businesses and entrepreneurs
-Why shipping to the U.S. from Canada just got more expensive
-And how Canadians can turn this into an opportunity — by supporting local, Canadian-made products
Canadians are resilient. Let’s use this moment to buy Canadian, sell Canadian, and keep Canadian business strong! 🇨🇦
