In two days time, the US governments' de minimis limit will be revoked entirely, leaving the potential for a 35% tax to be levied against anyone in the US who wants to buy my work valued at $800 or less.
Fortunately, through CUSMA, the things which I produce will not be taxed when received through US Customs. There is a lot of red tape and bureaucracy that I will be contending with in order to ensure tax exemption that I will need to wade through before I'm able to resume business as usual.
So, for the time being, I unfortunately will not be shipping to the US. Once I have a chance to digest and prepare for the onerous paperwork required by US Customs, I'll be able to resume selling my work into the USA.
CUSMA will be up for renegotiation July 2026. It could be that the agreement will change substantially at that time, so it's hard to say what's gonna happen. Additionally, there is always a possibility that CUSMA will be unilaterally terminated, but that's not something to worry about much unless it happens.
Cheers.
