Tariffs

On March 4 2025 Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on products entering the USA from Canada and Mexico, and 20% on Chinese goods.

Shipping services have been caught off-guard, reportedly lacking internal mechanisms by which they can bill shipment recipients for tariff fees on small sub-$800 orders (those under the present US 'de minimus' exemption). Until CBP and USPS have implemented a means to bill Americans the Trump Tariffs, for now shopping to the USA has not changed.

Our YKK products come from production facilities in Montreal and Georgia so are 100% Made in Canada and/or the USA.

So what does Trump's action mean today? 

• Canadians have nothing to worry about. We will use the most economical means to get things to you based on your shipping preference
• US customers have nothing to worry about - for now. But down the road the president plans to remove the $800 exemption which will mean US orders will be charged 25% tariff by USPS once that exemption is eliminated.
