I have some pretty upsetting news, effective August 29, 2025, there will no longer be a de minimis exemption for goods entering the United States, which means more items shipped to the US may now be subject to tariffs. Tariffs can add a layer of complexity to your transactions that can impact your experience as a customer.
Until this is all figured out, Etsy is no longer allowing Canadian shop owners to purchase shipping labels through them.
Etsy has a deal with Canada Post that any small business registered with their program gets a discount on shipping labels which helps US customers have a much lower shipping rate. Should I continue to ship to the US at this time through another company the shipping rate would almost double and you as a customer may have to pay Tarrifs upon receiving the package and this is not the experience I want for my customers.
My business receives more orders placed from the US than Canada. To keep my small business growing, I will need my fellow Canadian’s support now more than ever.
If and when I am able to ship to the US again I will make an announcement. Thank you for your understanding a patience during this time.
