Canadian philatelic dealers and collectors who sell and ship to the United States should be aware that the March 4 implementation of 25 per cent import tariffs has not impacted Section 321, the de minimis program that allows shipments valued under $800 USD to enter the U.S. without duties or tariffs.
Recent updates from shipping providers confirm that shipments under this threshold remain exempt from the new tariffs. Additional confirmation has also been received from postal service representatives, reinforcing that these shipments will not be affected.
However, given the uncertainty surrounding trade policies, changes could occur at any time. Canadian dealers and collectors shipping to the U.S. are strongly advised to stay informed and regularly check with their shipping providers for the latest updates.
If new information emerges, dealers and collectors are encouraged to share updates within the philatelic community to help others navigate these evolving policies. These tariff changes have the potential for significant economic impact, making it crucial for businesses and collectors to stay ahead of any updates.
