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.

    You’ll have to pay a 25% tax on yourself when you return, though.

    (/s, until someone figures out how to actually do that)

      Border officers will measure the weight of every travelers, in and out of every countries. Then, after estimating how much per kilogram they estimate themselves, travelers will have to pay tariffs on the weight difference.
      Excessively low estimates could expose travelers to “harvesting” by some rich Nazi who would buy them out (literally !).
      /sarcasm (i certainly hope this remains sarcasm forever.)

      My understanding is that some province is charging double on US commercial trucks that cross the border. Nova Scotia?

        Not a border crossing but Nova Scotia’s toll road, the Cobequid Pass is doubling rates specifically for US commercial vehicles.

        I don;t believe NS shares a border with the US unless perhaps a fairy but I have no idea if there are any US to NS ferries.

          It doesn’t. Might have been New Brunswick. Or I just made it up somehow. I can’t remember where I saw it.

      They charge something like $11 USD to cross border bridges (at least in Detroit and Sarnia).
