US Shipping: Duties & Taxes on Dog Diapers & Accessories

What Changed?

Starting August 29, 2025, all packages to the US are subject to customs duties and taxes, regardless of order value.

Good News: Our Products Are Made in Canada

USMCA Benefits: Since our dog diapers and accessories are manufactured in Canada, they may qualify for reduced or zero tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

What This Means:

  • Many Canadian-made pet products can enter the US duty-free or at significantly reduced rates
  • This helps keep your costs lower compared to products made in other countries

How It Works

  1. At Checkout: You pay only for products and shipping to us
  2. At the Border: US Customs assesses duties (often $0 or very low for Canadian-made goods)
  3. Upon Delivery: Your carrier collects any applicable fees before delivering your package

What to Expect

For Canadian-Made Products:

  • Potentially zero duties under USMCA
  • If duties apply, typically much lower rates than non-USMCA countries

Delivery Methods:

  • Courier Delivery: Any applicable duties calculated as percentage of order value
  • Canada Post: Flat rate of $80-$200 per package for next 6 months (even if actual duties are $0)

Important: Even when duties are $0, Canada Post may still charge their flat collection fee.

Why "Made in Canada" Matters

Products manufactured in Canada often qualify for preferential treatment under the USMCA trade agreement, which can mean little to no additional costs for you compared to products made elsewhere.
