Re: Canada - US tariffs
Can you break down the cost? Was it shipped through UPS by chance? I'd wager you got hit with Brokerage charges, for the bulk of it.mikdc29 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 3:46 pm Well, I got slapped with a pretty big customs fee from a relatively modest size coolstuffinc order of Underdark singles.
$130 US and then got welcomed with over $70CAD in customs. Usually it's like a third of that or less, even for orders bigger than this.
Anyone else with a similar experience?
Let me know if you HAVEN'T gotten dinged though - I'd like to know how to avoid this madness if at all possible.

That's weird, since last I heard, tariffs do not equal taxes 100%...mikdc29 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 7:31 pmSome of that is just sales tax (normal stuff) but all toys - sports and games from the US to Canada now apparently have a 25% tariff on themBBShockwave wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 6:23 pm Isn't there some official info on your customs office's webpage?

Re: Canada - US tariffs
There would be a fixed brokerage charge, plus the 25% tariffs, plus the 14% sales tax. Wow.

DHL in Canada will ding ya with a 50% duty charge (hold it ransom) .... They do not care about what it is ... they will ding ya. (they suck!) Skip them if you can every time!

Re: Canada - US tariffs
It's in my city, I can't wait until it's over, heh. As much as I understand the need for so much security, it's caused so much chaos.
Regarding the Tariffs though... agreed. We can only hope cooler heads prevail.

Re: Canada - US tariffs
I only ever ship USPS which gets handed off to Canada Post.
Other companies will likely charge a ridiculous brokerage fee.
If Canada Post decides to charge tax (they often don't understand $100 USD) then it will be sales tax plus a $10 customs fee.
The 25% tariffs is disappointing. Glad I was able to use most of my gift cards on dndmini before it went into effect.
