Shipments to USA - Our Couriers and Canada Post/USPS have requested we TEMPORARILY suspend all shipments to the USA under the $800USD De Minimus threshold until they have a definitve answers to navigate this process. Shipments above this $800 threshold will process as usual and with NO DISRUPTION.
Starting August 29, 2025, all commercial shipments into the U.S., regardless of value, will be subject to duties and full customs clearance procedures. The de minimis exemption, which has allowed duty-free treatment of shipments under USD $800 since 2016, is being withdrawn in another major policy shift with direct cost and operational consequences for some Canadian exporters.
What’s changing
The de minimis exemption has enabled streamlined, low-cost access to the U.S. market for small parcels, particularly through e-commerce and direct to consumer channels. That benefit is now being removed for all commercial shipments, regardless of origin, transport mode, or platform while postal shipments will follow a separate duty collection process, for now.
There will be no special treatment for Canada or other U.S. trade partners. Commercial goods entering the U.S., even if under the USD $800 threshold, will require a formal entry and payment of all applicable duties and tariffs.
If you have any questions please contact us. We apologize for any inconvenience and we will update as soon as we can.
