... and it has started. Shipments to the US now require a proof of country of
origin for commercial shipments, so they can levy their tariffs on products from
China. Without this proof, shipments may be tagged with a tariff. How to supply
this proof is not clear to me yet.

Good luck all.

i got this

"As of today, February 4, 2025, significant changes to U.S. cross-border
shipping rules have taken effect, impacting eCommerce shipments from Canada to
the U.S. Specifically, under the latest executive order, the Section 321 de minimis
exemption (shipments under $800) has been terminated for goods with a country
of origin of China, even if they are shipped from Canada. We have gotten confirmation
directly from the CBP.



What This Means for Your Shipments

Made-in-China products (including Hong Kong) now require formal entry, which
means all such shipments must go through customs clearance and will be subject
to 10-30% duties and tariffs.

For shipments we received on February 3 and 4, we are actively working with our
partnered broker to clear all affected shipments via formal entry. Duties and
taxes will be levied on these shipments and will be passed on to your account.

Expect a 1-2 day delay for shipments received on these dates as they go through
the new customs clearance process.

Action Required

If you've shipped with us this week, and if your shipments are sourced from
a country other than China or Hong Kong, please reply to this email with proof
of country of origin (such as a commercial invoice or manufacturer documentation).
If verified, we may still be able to clear your shipments tariff-free.

Going forward, since made-in-China goods now require formal entry, we are swiftly
developing a new feature on our platform that will allow you to declare the country
of origin of your shipments and provide necessary customs details (such as HTS
codes) for clearance. More information will be shared as soon as this feature
is released.



We understand this is a major shift for cross-border eCommerce, and we are committed
to ensuring a smooth transition for our clients. If you have any immediate concerns
or need assistance, please reach out to our team.



Thank you for your patience and trust as we navigate these changes together.



Best regards,

The Stallion Express Team"

I am hesitant to speculate anymore, but most recent Lego has a similar statement

indeed, based on some old customs ruling I could find, they say that as its unreasonable
to know the location of manufacturing for each individual part in a set so Denmark
is the location used (much simplified from the legal language and may be incorrect
and i am not a laywerr or expert)

Would it be enough to declare "Denmark" and provide HS code for shipment
via out beloved Canada Post?

By the way, I am still confused with HS code of Lego. 9503.00?
