Canadian-Made and Tariff-Free: Shipping with Art of Where is Still a Breeze

If you've been following the news lately, you may have seen updates about changes to tariffs on imported goods in the U.S. These changes are causing a bit of confusion, especially for small businesses and independent artists who rely on cross-border shipping.

So let’s clear things up!

No Tariffs on USMCA products

At Art of Where, all of our products are classified as Made in Canada under the USMCA (United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement) rules of origin. That means when you ship orders to customers in the United States, they qualify for tariff-free shipping. This is unchanged with recent news.

So in it's simpliest form. Your orders shipping to the USA will have:

✅ No surprise fees
✅ No extra duties at the border
✅ Just smooth, worry-free delivery to your U.S. customers

Even though some of the raw materials we use are imported including fabrics and blank garments, they’re transformed into finished goods in Canada, which qualifies them as Canadian-made under USMCA rules. So, you're covered!

Bottom line?

Whether you’re drop shipping your art or stocking your own inventory, your Art of Where orders will continue to cross the border quickly and without added costs. It’s one of the big advantages of working with a Canadian manufacturer—and we’re proud to keep it that way.

If you have questions about shipping or tariffs, we’re happy to help. But for now, go ahead and keep creating—we’ll take care of the rest!
