News reports indicate that a 25% tariff will go into effect on March 4th. This will apply to Mexico and Canada. An additional 10% will be added to Chinese products. However, FOR NOW, the $800 de minimis exception remains in effect, and will continue until the US has policies and procedures in place to deal with lower dollar shipments. Just how long that will be is, of course, anyone's guess, but that exception probably does give our ebay Canadian sellers some extra breathing room as they decide how to deal with the 25% tariff. I'm guessing many Canadian sellers are taking steps to ramp up sales within Canada and to increase sales to other countries. I would also guess they are looking at their margins, talking to suppliers, etc, to determine how much of the tariff to pass onto the American consumer (while remaining competitive). ebay has a Seller Check In this Friday, so hopefully ebay might have some suggestions for Canadian sellers at that time. As an American seller who sources within the US (mostly used items) and sells very little internationally, the direct impact on my ebay business will be minimal. I am posting this primarily as an FYI.
