There Goes Shipping Across The Border !!!!

[6pktgo]

I totally didnt see this coming !! As of today , there are tariffs on shipping, even for little people like me, into the US !!
I've been told I have to "register as a company " , get a certain form from the US cross border security & I have to pay "tariffs" on ANYTHING i sell into the United States. I guess that window will close now ??

that's crazy! Even for selling used items??

Big Biz killed Ebay for a lot of us too. Amazing how these things work and who benefits and who loses.

the "de minimus" rule. many of us are sad to see it go, and cling to hope it will someday return before we do ourselves in.

As I feel sorry for you guys stuck in the middle, reg. people
& not corporations...

Retaliatory tariff, from/or for your Canadian PM's trade polices,
USA trade deal or lack there of one
his bluff was called, it doesn't need to be that way

you need to write to your govt. & tell them your disappointment too

it takes 2 to tango, it goes both ways
Sorry to see it happen to the common person (private party) all caught up in the BS

It is obvious where this stupidity started but I heard under $100 dollars is ok for shipping to US

I feel like I've kicked over a can of worms,

I buy any of my motorcycle stuff from Europe now. Faster shipping and no hassles at all.
Reading the excuses on this continent is funny though, a lot of people are truly uneducated as to what has happened in the past as well as what is happening now.

Glad I already bought my window glides from Wayne that he and his son are reproducing. Shipping back and forth from Canada was already painful enough.

Just raise the price like everyone else.

So what is the actual cost of the tariff ? Tariffs are based on the wholesale cost, Not the retail price. There's a Lot of misunderstanding on what price is affected by a tariff.
Example: A clothing business Imports a pair of jeans for $4, that they Sell on the Retail market for $70. Let's say there is an "Import" tariff, of 50%, for the sake of easy math. The Tariff would be $2.00. Now the Retailer price could be bumped to $72, or they could possibly just eat the tariff, or a portion of it, to maintain their sale price.
The whole Tariff issue is overblown with misconceptions, and until people actually understand it, and Do the math, it's just more Smoke & Mirrors...

Under the free trade agreement, there was a clause that said sales under $800 could move tax free. At least I think that is what they are reporting.
Those items are now taxable.
Apparently wood is now a security threat.

I built my new house during covid. Good timing as the price of everything has gone up.
I bought supplies for my van last winter, also good timing.
But, my winter moorage has just gone up, and we did get a very attractive marina manager.

A lot of US folk are visiting BC this year, and many go through BC on their way to Alaska.

Here's a question - does any of this affect fees on items bought while visiting Canada and then brought through US customs or totally unrelated?

Still have to file a Customs form for anything bought in Canada and brought into the US. Now, if it's a US product, made in the USA, sold in Canada, then you must state on your Customs Declaration, "Return of USA Made Product", show where it was made, and then no duty is required. Having had to deal with Customs in my Worldwide travels in the USAF, I had to know all the intricacies of the Customs paperwork and clearance when returning home to the USA. Hope this helps y'all out...cr8crshr/Bill

Before the tariff war, vintage car parts for vehicles 25 years or older were exempt per Tariff Code 9966.00. Does anyone know if this has changed recently?

Must be those jeans with the holes in the legs. Market turns it into designer item.
I recently went shopping for a mirror for my car. I found one at a little less money than others. I put the item in my cart and went to checkout. Boom, right there under the price- Tarrif, was about half of the original price added to total, then sales tax. Nope, I took item out of cart and went looking else where. The thing is, companies will most likely price the item at a high enough price to cover the tarrif, or tax whatever you want to call it. Bottom line is consumer foots the bill.
