Not sure where the article is getting the $100 from. I read the executive order itself (needed a shower afterwards) and didn’t see anything about lowering the limit. It was removing the limit altogether so all packages would be subject to greater scrutiny.

You’re correct that all this work is still necessary to ship. We’ll be trying it out for now, but if the tariff cost isn’t covered by the blanket increase in prices, or if the process is a huge pain in the ass, we’ll likely just stop selling to the U.S. altogether. The shop is there to cover the material costs for my wife’s hobby, so I’m not terribly worried about a drop in sales as a result.

My wife has an Etsy shop that has a large percentage of American customers. We had to change our shipper to one which would handle the tariffs on our end (cost $10 USD/mo for the new shipper account) and she raised her prices 40% across the board since we have to pay for the tariff on our end so we don’t have to deal with customers refusing to pay the tariff and complaining to Etsy).

I believe Etsy is also dropping support for creating Canada Post labels, so we won’t even be able to use them for shipping domestically.

EDIT: I’ll still be able to use Canada Post for domestic shipments.

All this due to the elimination of the de minimus exemption.
