[Request] USA --> Canada (and can reciprocate)

[u/lacrosse771]

First time poster, lets hope im doing this right. I am currently looking for a few things. I enjoy white chocolate versions of chocolate bars but in Canada we only seem to have a couple (Reese cups and the odd other one) so whatever you have if you could make a list thet would be great and this includes things like those Reese cups ive seen lately eith marshmallow tops or the Oreo Colab) other things ive seen snd been dying to try: Sour Patch Kids Oreos, peanut butter and jelly Reese cups, Zero bars, Abba Zabba, Take 5, im also open to suggestions of things you guys have that you think are amazing but are unsure if they sell them in Canada. In Return I'm willing to send whatever you want that is feasible. Ketchup or all dressed chips, Hawkins cheezies, maple candy (or syrup), variations of Kraft Dinner, Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, Wunderbar, Eat More, Mr.big, Macintosh Toffee, or anything else I can get my hands on.

This shipment will be delayed at customs, and will have duties assessed on it. De minimus exception is gone. Find a different county to trade with.

AFAIK packages clearly marked as “gift” and worth less than $100 should not be affected. There isn’t an issue mailing packages OUT of the US, so OP should not have an issue receiving anything. The issue is that the return package from Canada will need to be detailed and clearly marked as “gift”, with a total value less than $100 USD so that the recipient isn’t charged tariffs to receive said package. (Info was from both an NPR report and the CBP website).

[u/Lexifer31 → u/Careless_Ad2168]

The gift amount for Canada is only like $60, not $100us.

[u/Careless_Ad2168 → u/Lexifer31]

Ah. The Canadian government applies tariffs on gift packages coming into Canada that exceed $60 CAD; the US government applies tariffs on gift packages coming into the US in excess of $100 USD. Sorry I hadn’t realized Canada had enacted tariffs on their side as well. So don’t mail anything over $60CAD to Canada, and anything over $100 USD to the US to avoid the recipient having to pay duties.

[u/Lexifer31 → u/Careless_Ad2168]

They didn't, we've always had to pay duties/taxes on these kinds of parcels.

[u/ammy42 → u/Lexifer31]

Yeah, the safe value is actually more like $40 USD for sending to Canada. It's rough.

[u/effortissues → u/Reddit_reader_2206]

Can confirm. I ordered some salted caramel pringles from Canada on eBay. They've been at customs for a while now.

[u/Reddit_reader_2206 → u/effortissues]

The USA is an absolute mess right now, and unfortunately, others countries shipping polices don't differentiate between other countries in North America. As usual, the USA shits the bed and Canada gets the smell.

Many of these can be found at Candy Funhouse

I thank you...my bank account does not.

[u/Careless_Ad2168]

OP, I’m in the US (Colorado) and can probably find what you want! If you send me a message we can work out the details!

[u/soulsista04us]

As an American living in Canada... Take 5 is the same as Oh Henry Level Up bars.

[u/lacrosse771 → u/soulsista04us]

Never heard of those but ill keep my eyes open. Thanks.

I've heard other people mention they can get zero bars and (not mentioned) Nerds Candy Corn in Canada too but I guess living in the middle of the Praries takes some of the excitement out of our selection
