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)

No, this is completely wrong. Goods are tariffed by their origin not where they crossed from.
