You can read it here:https://chitchats.com/blog/what-if-the-tariffs-go-into-effect-apr-2 Basically they're going back to the "need manufacture info" to unlock "duties paid postage". Thing is the tariffs apply to Chinese goods, so why do we need the manufacture information if the country of origin isn't China? How are we going to sort out the manufacture information on vintage goods? I'm getting different answers... Google says declaring it as vintage (instead of manufacture info) is acceptable, along with country of origin and tariff code. Chit Chats customer service told me that if the items are vintage I can say they're made in Canada (but that's not exactly the truth is it?) I wasn't able to get an answer from CBP when I tried inquiring before the April 2 tariff deadline (not that their answer matters, if Stallion is handling my packages I have to do things their way, and I got no answer from them, and I expect they probably don't know since it hasn't been put in effect yet). Some of my items have an obvious manfacture (like the Royal Canadian Mint, or some other mint), some not so much... It's not like I have invoices from items that were manufactured before I was born... I recently sold a bunch of paper money from the Weimar Republic (dated 1923), like I'd know where that was manufactured (but Chit Chats said since Weimar republic doesn't exist anymore putting Canada is OK, I'm thinking CBP will not share that viewpoint if the item is spot checked).
