Will tariffs with Canada apply to eBay sales?

[ccrrefills]

If I ship from Canada to the US will the 25% tariff apply to eBay sales going from Canada to the US?

If so, who pays the 25%, the sender or the receiver?

Thank you

Obviously I am not familiar with Stallion Express ... I thought they were a shipper like DHL, UPS, etc. thus the question about tracking with eBay to protect against an INR ... my apologies for the misunderstanding.

No apologies needed. I try to explain that Stallion Express is my shipper in any posts that I have questions about shipping (since I don't expect people to remember or read everything I post).

Basically their job is to collect up packages in Canada and send them by truck to USPS and UPS across the border. Their tracking is integrated with USPS tracking, so that if you track on their website or use their tracking on eBay, the partner carrier (UPS/USPS) will update tracking too. They are also partnered with Royal Mail, the Australian Mail Service, Netherlands mail and Asendia.

Canada is a sovereign country and does not collect taxes for other nations.

The buyer/importer pays the tariff.

Note however, that US residents have an $800 duty free allowance on imports.

Here is the possible reply

- If the value is under US$800 import tax/duty won't apply to any individual American buyer.

-For large commercial items 25% Tariff would apply to goods made in Canada items. What I understand country of origin is an important factor in international trade. If you are reselling items made in Japan, USA or any other country,  Tariff may not apply.

FYI (Copied excerpt)

"The U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) de minimis rule allows goods with an aggregate fair retail value of $800 or less per shipment to enter the U.S. duty-free, speeding up the clearance of low-value imports and boosting trade efficiency"

Concerning the $800 exemption

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02/01/us/trump-tariffs-news#canada-mexico-china-trump-tariffs

The White House official said in the press call Saturday that the executive order with Canada would also revoke what is known as the de minimis exemption, a law that allows packages under $800 in value to bypass U.S. taxes and tariffs on goods. Critics have said the system has allowed fentanyl and other dangerous products to flow into the United States with less screening.

Well... Trump signed away de minimus. So yeah it'll apply to anything under $800 too.

I am wondering if Canadians put 25% sales on their ebay stores would make it easier for

Americans to pay the 25% tariffs.

What do you think?

[greatstuff80]

Oops sorry.... trump removed that $800 de minimis. You pay on everything.

I think you might be missing the point ... the tariffs, if they apply to goods sold on eBay, would be paid by US Buyers.  If Canadian Sellers added 25% to their items then domestically in Canada their items would be 25% higher there ... not good.

This will have an effect on everyone in some way shape or form & none of them any good!
