With over 8 minutes of honest talk, Dave reveals exactly how recent US tariff changes (effective August 29) are driving up shipping costs, import taxes, and customs duties for American consumers. Many shoppers don’t realize that the new regulations force companies like Canada Post and private shipping firms to collect and remit duties directly to the US government. This results in a shipping process that hides costs from the general American consumer but heavily burdens small businesses and anyone ordering internationally.

Why is shipping from Canada to the US so expensive now? Dave explains that every package crossing the border comes with new hidden fees, surcharges, and increased costs on packaging, boxes, and shipping labor. Import duties and taxes on non-US, non-Mexican, and non-Canadian goods (like items from China, Italy, England, or Germany) now drive the total cost up dramatically. Even a simple $10 book can end up costing $25 or more once you add shipping, duties, taxes, and packaging fees!

If you’ve ever wondered why eBay shipping feels more expensive than ordering directly from a website, Dave breaks it down. He explains how selling platforms like eBay and Amazon charge additional seller fees on both product prices and shipping charges, making it even more costly for buyers and sellers alike. Those fees don’t just hurt sellers—they raise the final price for you, the buyer. That’s why buying directly from MilitaryAntiquesToronto.com can save you money, especially with the Canadian dollar currently 35% lower than the US dollar. When you buy direct, you get the discount and pay less—while still benefiting from secure payment options like PayPal and credit cards.

What makes these new shipping rules so significant for American shoppers? As US Customs increases tariffs and import duties, the only way to avoid the extra costs is to buy goods made in the US, Canada, or Mexico. Otherwise, any item made overseas will carry a hefty import fee, no matter where you buy it from. This means more Americans will need to source their collectibles and antiques locally—or pay the new, higher prices.

Are small businesses in danger? Dave shares how these rule changes are threatening the survival of small sellers, who now have to pay extra for everything from packaging to shipping labor, on top of higher duties and taxes. Despite the challenges, Military Antiques Toronto remains committed to offering fair shipping rates and combined shipping whenever possible, always trying to keep costs as low as possible for loyal customers.

Looking for tips on how to save money on shipping from Canada to the US? Dave recommends always buying directly from the website instead of third-party marketplaces. With transparent pricing and no hidden platform fees, you get better deals—and help small businesses survive. Plus, with no tax charged on the Military Antiques Toronto website, you save even more, especially with the favorable Canadian dollar exchange rate.

Dave’s honest advice is clear: always check where your items are coming from, compare prices between eBay, Amazon, and direct sellers, and be aware of the new US shipping rules as of August 29. Whether you’re a collector, a regular buyer, or a fellow small business owner, staying informed about tariffs, import taxes, and customs duties can help you avoid overpaying and make smarter purchases.
