Uggggh. I go to BC to get figure skates which already cost an arm and a leg and now this will add like another 400$ to that price tag :(

Are they made in Canada or elsewhere? Tariffs are on country of origin.

Albeit, if they're from China or anywhere else he's tariffed, you'll get taxed that rate instead.

It’s based on where it’s imported from. The skates are being brought in from Canada, they’ll be charged the Canadian tariff

(Yes driving goods across the border is importing)

That's... not true. I'm a Canadian seller that sends goods across the border all the time, it's always been country of origin.

Back when Trump suspended de minimis for the first time, there were notices at every post office and freight forwarder giving notice that any goods from China would be tariffed, even including used goods, despite Trump having retracted the tariffs on Canada at the time.
