TARIFF DISCLAIMER

I had my first (Zonos entry) successful USA sale as it was delivered today. I was off for six weeks at the start of Aug.29/25 and of course the Canada Post strike. 

 

99% of my listings are made in the USA.

 

I want to add a disclaimer to my ads;

 

"There are no tariffs on comic books or vintage Hollywood photographs, negatives and slides". 

 

Is there anything I should add? Because I'm about to revise 667 listings and I don't want to redo anything. 

 

Thanks for the input.....

I'd probably preface that disclaimer with something along the lines of "Important note to customers in the USA:" seeing as you ship worldwide.  That way, potential US buyers know that message is for them and potential buyers from outside of the US know it may not apply to them.

Everything 'informational' should not have tariffs (magazines, Books, medias (CD/DVD/VHS), etc).

 

There can be exceptions to the exceptions.... but that's what I understand at the moment.

 

I've sent multiple magazines to the states without tariffs/duties.

TARIFF DISCLAIMER

Personally, years ago I started keeping my descriptions with minimal wording because it seems I'm lucky if I can get my buyers to read the full title, let alone read the description. In my own case, I would see it as not worth the effort (but I have 5,000+ items so my time would be significantly larger) along with the risk that "tomorrow" it might change again and I'd have to go update them all again.

I bulk edited my dot com listings to say how I ship.

 

I've mentioned Canadian orders ship with Canada Post or "another carrier" (like in the event of a strike, that way I'm not bound to use Canada Post in every instance).

 

I've stated US orders ship with duties paid postage via Stallion Express or Canada Post (so I have two options there, if I went back to Chit Chats I wouldn't see the difference, it operates like Stallion, there just isn't a Chit Chats near me).

 

And I mention International buyers may have additional fees upon import (I know with reasonable certainty most of my packages should not, but in the event there are fees I don't want them coming back to me and saying "your listing says no additional fees". Foreign customs offices is not something I can control.)
