Shippo, CPO labels, and Duty Collection | Selling

I just noticed that Shippo still offers CPO shipping and I'm wondering if anyone has used this method. I spent hours getting zonos sorted but it looks like shippo had it covered all along. To me it looks like exactly what I've been looking for. It looks like I can buy a CPO label via shippo, and then USPS will collect duty at the buyer's door with no additional brokerage fees.I like Shippo because I like to insure more expensive items and they offer insurance while CPO does not (or if they do I haven't been able to access it.). Has anyone used shippo for US items since tariffs came into effect? When I asked about this I received the following response via AI: ""Canada Post shipments will be sent as DDU, meaning the recipient pays customs fees upon delivery."" and """A brokerage fee may still apply even if there is no duty owing, as it covers the service of clearing your shipment through customs. USPS does not charge brokerage fees, but carriers like UPS and DHL Express may charge this fee regardless of whether duty is owed.""" and """ When shipping from Canada to the US, Canada Post (CPO) handles the package until it enters the US, where USPS takes over for final delivery. This handoff is standard for cross-border shipments, and no brokerage fees apply when USPS is the final carrier."""
