Tarrif trouble?

[Cacahuates]

I have some incoming pre orders from the US to Canada. Should I expect to be hit with Tarrifs?

There's so much good stuff and innovation in the vape world. This makes them exempt from trade wars right?

I *think* you're being serious in asking if the vape world is exempt from trade wars, so I will answer as if you are being serious.

No, there is no reason vapes will be exempt from tariffs. Tariffs will only hurt consumers in the United States because we have outsourced our entire supply chain and have very little that is now produced end-to-end in the US, meaning there is not a way for tariffs to increase domestic manufacturing without a significant price increase in basically every area. Your food, bottled water, energy, vaporizers, clothes, computers, video games, soda, jewelry, solar panels, phones, pet food, lumber, and literally everything else is going to get more expensive. I can't speak to how currently in-transit orders will be impacted. Everything moving forward is about to get a whole lot worse, though, and that I can promise you.

Well it was good while it lasted and hopefully this won't last long.

Presumably the price has been locked-in upon purchase and so is pre-tariff costing. On the CA side of the border, with the retaliatory tariffs in place, who knows. My guess would be that imports for small business items will be hit with the reciprocal 25%, but only a careful read of the CA gov tariff docs that came into effect today would tell the tale.

Wondering about my Toad. Paid for back in November(?), but Dan says maybe another month till it's finished... I don't think I have an extra $150 just laying around .... how even do tariffs work in this situation?

If it hits the US before the de minimis exception is removed, you'll be in the clear as long as the Toad and accessories are worth less than $800 total, just like before. If the current US regime chooses to remove the de minimis exemption (like they've been threatening to) between now and then, you'll be on the hook for 25% + whatever other (pre-existing) import tariffs there are on the type of goods the Toad is.

As far as I know, Canada's own de minimis exemption was already much lower than the US', at C$40 for taxes and C$150 for duties, so you'll probably pay the normal import duties plus the new import tariffs if your order exceeds C$150.
