USA / Canada Tariffs - March 4, 2025

With new import tariffs by the USA government on Canadian products shipped to the USA, and retaliatory tariffs by the Canadian government on products shipped from the USA to Canada, customers from both countries may be confused about what this means when shopping with us. We're located in Canada and want to make it absolutely clear that:

• CURRENTLY, ORDERS BELOW $800 ARE EXEMPT FROM NEW TARIFFS
• WE WILL NEVER BLOCK ORDERS FOR USA RECIPIENTS
• WE WILL NOT RAISE PRICES TO OFFSET COST INCREASES FROM TARIFFS unless:

1.) tariffs from US suppliers (most of our imports are European) remain after 6 months, AND
2.) cost increases are even significant enough to warrant any changes (unlikely)

Until both of these are met, you will not see any increases here based on tariffs.

Our prices reflect daily currency conversion rates automatically when you view products using any currency other than Canadian dollars. As a rule, we adjust prices occasionally to account for changes in suppliers when making our products, but only if significant; in fact our prices have increased by only about 30% since we started 20 years ago! Most businesses that age have doubled them by now.

USA Customs/Duty/Tax Policy

The USA will collect a new 25% tariff on many goods imported from Canada. Currently, de minimus exemptions remain in place, therefore until further notice, orders below $800 are not subject to these tariffs; therefore you should not be charged duty upon receiving your order. Local taxes and the usual private carrier fees (etc.) may still be charged however.

Final Word

We are 100% Canadian and love our American neighbours; since our mission is to remain affordable, that is exactly what we will always be!
