We live in an interconnected world. As an American, I’d like to know some ways that I could purchase goods, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Canada and Mexico, and still avoid the tariffs.

Just got back from beautiful Canada 2 weeks ago! I was delighted to spend time with my wonderful brothers and sisters we met along the way in Canada.
What I’m really interested to know is if at border crossings, individual will or will not have to pay duties on purchases in Canada. Previously it was only on liquor or cigarettes over a certain amount. Now will I have to declare I bought a pair of shoes in Canada from Softmoc, a tank of gas from Canadian Tire, or a bottle of maple syrup from Quebec paying addition taxes on all of these to bring them back to the states? Do you know how hard it is to find peameal bacon in the USA?
The personal exemption should still exist, but I didn’t actually look that up.
