Potential good news on Canada customs?
 
Here's a slight ray of hope on importing (from the U.S or Mexico at least minus exchange rate)

Here's the whole scoop

What pertains to us and why we get hit with duties.

Call to raise duty-free limit

Online cross-border shoppers may be most excited to read the USTR's objective to improve customs facilitation, including raising the de minimis shipment value — the amount that can be shipped into Canada or Mexico duty-free — to $800 US.

Canada currently triggers duties for goods valued over $20, one of the lowest de minimis levels in the developed world.

Thoughts, anyone?

Awesome news. As the parent of one and a half year old who drinks a ton of dairy and eats a ton of cheese, I'm also looking forward to getting some relief there.

I can't wait to start importing from HLJ again, too!

It is good news and they have tried to raise it in previous years but the retail lobby is strong and has petitioned many governments to be on its side. I know the CBSA has found it to be garbage and a waste of time.

Hopefully it passes. But I doubt this will impact the farce that is the eBay Global Shipping Program. People buying off eBay will still have that hurdle. But at least it opens up more options buying directly from sites that get exclusives like BBTS and the like.

I hope it's at least $800 across the board and not just from the US

Doubt it as seeing it's a USA/CAN/Mexico deal.

Doubtful sure, but I can always hope that the gov't will just do it across the board if they make the changes for the US/Mexico. :)
