important Tariff information relating to all orders and shipments to the U.s.a.

Tarriff Update as at Sept 9, 2026

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) struck down the Trump administration’s illegal IEEPA-based tariffs, and the administration responded with a deliberate swap — replacing IEEPA authority with Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 resulting in a flat 10% surcharge, while a separate Executive Order preserves the de minimis suspension under its own independent authority.

After trade negotiations broke down late last month, the Trump Administration imposed 15%, 25% and 50% tariffs on upwards of $20B USD of goods coming from Canada. We retaliated with dollar-for-dollar counter tariffs, and we are now in an all-out trade war. It remains to be seen if these new tariffs are going to have a compound effect on an already bad situation?

All US-bound orders will be assessed an additional 10% to be added to the cost of goods - the final amount to be confirmed at time of order as dictated and determined by the Zonos app. The full amount of these tariffs are payable in advance in USD via PayPal. This tariff rate of course is subject to change pending CBP guidance, and could change at a moment’s notice depending on a certain person’s mood from one day to the next. As expected, these tariffs are having a significant negative impact on our relationship with our US customer base, however we are grateful to those who continue to order from us. Thank you!

This senseless one-man trade war will pass and maybe one day, things will get back to what was once normal… In the meantime we just have to buckle up, hunker down, and figure out how best to ride out the storm!

peace out
