As of today, my first cross-border has been shipped and received, and I’m excited to share that no tariff fees were charged to process the shipment or incurred at the receiver’s end. The only fee levied was a $2 (CAD) Clearance Fee imposed by the 3rd-party software contracted by Canada Post to collect and remit incurred tariffs.

I do realize a sample size of one is just a start, and that policies or their application could change on a whim, however, it does look promising for those who have held off ordering until there was more clarity.

The $2 Clearance Fee has been built into the cost for US-shipping options, and as always, my shipping costs reflect the rates that I pay Canada Post, plus a small fee that covers my packaging materials.
