Update 03/06: The United States government has announced that the tariffs described below have been paused until April 2, 2025. eBay Canada will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide relevant information through the eBay Community.
Today, March 4th, 2025, the United States government implemented a 25% additional tariff on all goods produced in Canada and Mexico, effective immediately. For now, the de minimis threshold on US imports remains in place. This means new tariffs will be applied to goods produced in Canada or Mexico that are sold to buyers in the United States, valued at US$800 or more, regardless of item condition.
eBay’s priority is to provide sellers with accurate and timely information to help them understand the impact of the new US Executive Orders and how to comply with new requirements. Therefore, to ensure a smooth cross-border shipping experience we strongly recommend sellers take the following actions:
- Ensure the item location for your listings is accurate.
- Include accurate Harmonized Tariff Codes & Country of Manufacture (COO) information on your customs declarations.
Be assured that eBay is actively monitoring for any delays in cross-border shipping and/or changes to formal customs clearance processes. In the event of customs delays, eBay will take steps to automatically remove defects and adjust your late shipment rate when valid tracking information indicates that these problems were caused by systemic shipping delays. Learn more about our defect removal guidelines.
If you receive feedback from buyers related to customs delays or fees, and the item location for your listing is accurate, we will take care of it for you. For more details, check out our feedback policy page.
You can continue monitoring the eBay Community for more information & updates as they arrive.
As always, thank you for being part of the seller community.
