Hey, yeah. What happens if you live in the USA, drive to a hockey game in Canada? Are there tarrifs on merchandise? How would the border guards know you bought a puck and a jersy?
Probably since it’s less than a certain amount of dollars, like under 1000$ or 500$, then it’s not considered significant enough? I don’t know frankly and I doubt the American administration knows either since they change things every other day.
If that's the case, why apply the tarrifs to individual purchases online?
Shipping companies tend to take more than one item
As it was said just bellow, it’s due to shipping companies.
As regular citizens, we can « import » up to 800$ without paying tariffs. However, let’s say company A imports items from the US. They will do so with numbers over 800$, probably in the thousands or millions. This means it’s over the limit of obligatory signaling to the border agents and then they pay tariffs on that amount.
It’s kinda that process.
