*Executive order to end duty-free entry for cheap Chinese goods caught package carriers off guard *U.S. Postal Service has no system in place to collect tariffs or remit them to U.S. government *As packages piled up, White House had to pause its own order
The stupidity in all of this is Canada’s duty-free entry limit was $20.
Dunno why America left theirs so low for so long.
It was $200 for a long time(Thanks to GOP sycophant Stephen Harper), then after covid it was jumped up to something like $500 to kickstart cross border travel. Then it was reduced to $20.
Yes, for cross-border shopping with at least 48 hrs spent in the US.
But for mail order shipments it’s $20.
