New rules in the US Canada Mexico trade deal

[danyray]

There is a lot of talk this week about far more important parts of the deal, but a small bit is of interest here especialy for customers on the north of the border. The quote is in french but it say that a Canadian buyer can buy online from an US based seller up to 150$ without custom tax. It was previously limited to 20$

"Il sera maintenant possible de faire un achat en ligne, avec un vendeur basé aux États-Unis, jusqu’à une valeur de 150 $ sans frais de douane. La limite était auparavant de 20 $"

As its often impossible to find rare pieces in Canada and the big stores that have this type of inventory are in the US, I think it may impact canadian customers who like me order a lot of single from the US.

I intend this tread to be only about the relevant part for this site. I know the trade deal is a bigger subject with part of it that will have far biger impact on people life and may a sensitive subject, so please keep it related to minis.

Yes I was also happy to see the limit moving up to $125. While I did find that CBSA/Canada Post often would not bother to collect taxes or duties on goods valued under $100, this increase will be really great.
