From what I here over on this side (Canada) you could be charged up to $200 on that $800 threshold (25%) BTW this free under $800 has been in effect for almost 100 years.

People are trying to figure away around this by shipping as a gift but the Government will try to shut that down every which way. The post office here says they will only ship gifts to residential addresses and they can easily search out if there is a business involved online very quickly.

There are still some vendors in the USA that refuse to ship to Canada because of our stricter import laws/taxes. In the future you may see this happening in reverse for all other counties refusing to ship to the USA because of these import fees.

No one wants to pay more especially if its going into the Governments hands.
I can't speak for what Canada has done, but this is what de minimis means to imports into the USA...

The U.S. de minimis threshold began at $1 in the  Tariff Act of 1930 , gradually increasing to $200 in 1993 and $800 in 2016 with the  Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act  (TFTEA).

Apparently, USPS shipments will be held at the PO, and the recipient will have to go there and pay, before getting their package.

I don't know about where you guys live, but at my PO that means a half an hour wait!  Maybe longer now!

Yikes!!!

Best to view the cart (and know the exact fee amounts) BEFORE touching that pay bar!

My local postie will deliver a package even if duties are owed, they have a card reader with them but they only take VISA/MC and no debit cards.

If you refuse to pay they take it back to the post office where it will sit till somebody pays (hold it for 3 weeks?) or else they will send it back thru the system to the sender.

I got sent a package once I never ordered so did not pay for it then asked the guy what happens to it.

My understanding of US tariffs on Canada are as follows:

Goods compliant with USMCA (called CUSMA in Canada) enter tariff free.

Non compliant goods are subject to a 35% tariff.

Raw steel or aluminum are subject to a 50% tariff.  Some copper semi-refined products also subject to this tariff.

There is another 25% tariff that was imposed on Mexico and Canada due to US concerns over fentanyl and people smuggling into the USA.  I don't know if this is additive to the above.

Clay, you can always ship those parts to me.  I promise to pass them along to you.  Honest!!

Hardrock i will definitely take You up on that kind offer!! Nothing motorcycle related but, got to thinking??? I was fortunate, bought a couple of those Harbor Freight 6.5hp engines years ago for the CrAzY price of around 110 USD out the door. I use them for a multitude of applications, cheaper then rebuilding a similar one. They Are Super reliable, unlike the majority of HF inventory. Wondering how these "extras" are going to effect the box store prices at Northern tool and Harbor Freight? I rarely frequent these bargain basement stores, gotta know what's crap or not.    Just used one for the neighbors log splitter so down to only one now, ha.

Nice setup on that log splitter!

I'm going to be away on a fishing trip until the end of Sept.  Be happy to do it after that, but I don't know for sure if it will help.  They may still charge tariff on it even if I "gift" it.

Spain do !!! the first time I sent the parts to Carlos because there was no invoice (even from a private individual) and it was marked as "gift" customs rejected it and it turned up back in the UK so I had to pay shipping a second time when I re-sent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
