Important Update for Our U.S. Customers

Written by: Shopville Canada

Important Update for Our U.S. CustomersThe White House issued an Executive Order suspending the de minimis tariff exemption.What’s changing?
  • The U.S. is ending the “de minimis” rule (the old $800 duty-free loophole).
  • Shipments valued at $800 USD or less will no longer qualify for duty-free entry.
  • Some carriers are also adjusting their services, which may cause delays.
Will this affect my order?
  • Shipping times may be delayed due to customs processing, but don’t worry, Shopville is taking care of the extra tariffs at the border.
  • All orders shipping to the U.S. will now go through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
  • For goods eligible under CUSMA/USMCA, proper paperwork will need to accompany the shipment.
What are we doing about it?We’re working closely with our carriers to keep shipments moving as smoothly as possible. We’ll update you if there are any major changes. Your orders may take a little extra time crossing the border.
TL;DR: U.S. customs is changing the rules. Shipping may slow down a bit.
