Important Notice for U.S. Customers Regarding Import Duties

About the U.S. de minimis suspension

Effective August 29, 2025, the United States has suspended its duty-free “de minimis” threshold of US$800 for all countries, including Canada. All postal shipments to the U.S. will require prepaid duties before your package crosses the border – regardless of their value or country of origin.

Please note that all import duties, taxes, and fees collected at checkout are non-refundable, even if your order is returned or refused upon delivery.
These charges are government-imposed fees that are paid directly to U.S. Customs and the relevant tax authorities at the time of importation through our third-party customs partner (Zonos).

Because the shipment is officially cleared and imported into the United States, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) does not provide automatic refunds on these payments. Only registered business importers with valid documentation may apply for a “Duty Drawback” under U.S. law.

If you choose to return an item, we will refund the product cost (excluding any duties, taxes, and original shipping fees) once the item has been received and inspected.

For commercial couriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx, DHL), you will be charged the following fees:

1: US import duties are approximately 30% (please confirm the exact amount with US Customs).

2: The courier will charge customs clearance and handling fees (please confirm the exact amount with your chosen courier).

⚠️ Please note: While we ship from Canada, most of our products are manufactured in China, and are therefore subject to these U.S. import tariffs regardless of shipment origin.

💬 What This Means for You:
You may be required to pay import duties when receiving your package in the U.S., especially if shipped via USPS or express couriers.

These fees are imposed by U.S. Customs and shipping carriers, and are beyond our control.

If you wish to cancel your order due to these duties, please contact us before the order is shipped.

We will continue to monitor changes and update you if further developments occur. Thank you for your understanding and support.
