The U.S. shipping landscape has shifted dramatically this year, with new enforcement rules and evolving tariff policies. To help you stay compliant and avoid disruptions, we’ve put together a quick guide on what matters most when shipping to the U.S. through Stallion. ✅ U.S. Shipping Compliance: What’s Required on Every Shipment No matter where your products are made, all U.S.-bound shipments must meet these two requirements: 1. Correct Country of Origin DeclarationYou must declare where the product was last substantially transformed.Examples:✔ Tablet assembled in Malaysia → Origin: Malaysia✘ T-shirt made in China, printed in Canada → Still Origin: China 2. Country of Origin MarkingProducts must be labeled “Made in [Country]” directly on the item or its packaging (not the shipping box).Must be:• In English• Legible and durable• No handwritten markings ⚠ Compliance is Being Strictly Enforced Tampering with country of origin labels, misdeclaring origin, or applying false information can result in:• Up to $10,000 in penalties (from CBP and/or Stallion)• Permanent suspension of your ability to ship to the U.S. as CBP may flag your brand or company If you’re unsure, reach out. Our team is here to help. 🚫 Major Disruptions Affecting DDU Shipments to the U.S. We’re seeing a wave of Canada Post Tracked Packet USA shipments being rejected by U.S. Customs and returned weeks later — due to confusion over whether Canada Post or USPS is responsible for collecting duties and taxes on DDU shipments. The same issues may apply to PostNL DDU service to the US, as CBP continues to reject DDU shipments across the board. We are currently planning to turn off both Canada Post and PostNL DDU options by next Wednesday, and will send a follow-up email with the final decision. Our recommendation: Avoid using any DDU service for U.S. shipments right now. ✅ Stallion DDP: Best Option for China/Hong Kong–Made Goods If your products are made in China or Hong Kong, our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solution is the most reliable path forward. How It Works:• Submit your SKUs for customs approval• Once approved, use DDP (USPS) shipping• Daily clearances from Ontario• 3x/week clearances from other provinces (expect 1–2 extra transit days for DDP only) Clients using DDP are reporting smooth, reliable deliveries with no disruptions. 📽 Watch the DDP setup tutorial If You Do NOT Have a Connected Store, you’ll need to manually add your products to the Products page before submitting them for approval.
