    Looking for costs / tariffs to ship kilt wear to USA

    I’ve just spent time trying to find out what the “ new” tariffs would be for shipping/ selling used kilt wear ( wool kilts, wool kilt hose, leather sporrans - all used) from Canada to the USA. I wasn’t able to find any clear answers. Do any members here have the current cost information. I did see a section that said all clothing had to have sewn in labels , showing fabric composition, country of origin, et etc. It is looking like it might basically be too high sets of requirements, to try to sell, and ship the kilts, etc., into the USA. 😞😖

    I was just looking at this last evening for a bonnet. There's an app that Canada Post has partnered with, Zonos. From what I read, there's a fee for service, and percentage of tariffs collected and they'll complete all paperwork.

    You take a picture of the item, the app tries to classify it and then you can adjust once it suggests what it thinks the item is and where it is from.

    For a balmoral made in Canada, tariffs would have been 35%.

    Under USMCA, if the materials are produced in Canada, and the product is made in Canada, and they properly document it, then there may be no tariffs to import it into the USA.

    This depends, at least to some extent, on carrier. Apparently with Canada Post, nothing is exempt even if it falls under USMCA.
