Orders from Art of Where Ship Tariff-free. Your March 2025 update.
All orders continue to be shipped tariff-free. Rest assured, any recent news regarding tariffs do not affect the products we make.
If you’ve seen recent news about tariffs at the U.S./Canada border, you might be wondering if this will affect your orders from Art of Where. The good news? It won’t! You can continue ordering with confidence, knowing that your purchases will arrive without any unexpected fees.
Why Are There No Extra Fees?
Art of Where makes your products in our Canadian-based studio and imports US orders to New York to ship with USPS. This allows US customers to receive their orders quickly and affordably and applies to both our US customers ordering for within the USA, and our Canadian-based artists shipping to US addresses. The reason why it works so well is US customs regulations include a de minimis exemption, which allows goods valued at $800 USD or less to enter the U.S. duty-free and without additional taxes. Since all our shipments to the U.S. fall within this exemption, there are no tariffs or surprise fees when your order arrives. While there has been recent news of tariffs on Canadian-made goods, they DO NOT affect the de minimis exception, so our shipping process continues as normal.
What If My Order Is Over $800?
For larger orders that exceed the $800 de minimis threshold, we may split your shipment into multiple packages to ensure it remains tariff-free. This way, you can continue to enjoy hassle-free shipping without any additional costs.
We're staying updated so you don't have to
We’re always keeping an eye on shipping regulations and will update our customers if anything changes. But for now, you can order worry-free, knowing that you won’t be paying extra when your package crosses the border. If anything changes in the future, our goal is always to have as little impact on our customers as possible so we promise to you keep you informed and our pricing as accessible as always.
