Various Problems with DDP Shipping | Selling

So I'm back, and have been reading the forum. Doing some tests to apply the changes to my future shipments to see how it's going to work, and I have problems. My coins and stamps that are made in Canada are being charged duty/tariffs to ship to the US. I'm using codes 7118 and 9704 (I know 4907 works for stamps but Stallion will not approve that code for DDP because it's associated with fiduciary paper which has restrictions crossing the border). It gives me some error about another agency controlling the import and it can't approve. So I'm being hit with 35% tariffs even though my coins and stamps are made in Canada. I'm particularly upset that Canadian goods are being hit with such high tariffs (worse than the China tariff now from what I read, which is currently at 30%), and CUSMA is not a way out. Stallion says that it must be on the S/S+ list to be CUSMA compliant and the two codes I use for coins and stamps do not appear on that list of HTS codes. Another problem is Stallion wants the manufacturer information of all items which is impossible to come up with (although thanks to Numista a lot of that information is provided). Trying to get products approved for shipping is turning into some kind of nightmare, and without eBay providing discounted Tracked Packet labels I don't see any other way besides shipping with Stallion to keep the costs reasonably down.
