I have a new theory about slow sales for Canadians

Trump has signed an order delaying implementation of de minimus tariffs on China

Just saw the news headline. Probably because of pandamonium at the border and with US Customs. So some sort of respite for us.

So how is someone supposed to enter HTS and CoO codes when using the CP online customs form?

And where does one even look up the codes? Every Tom, Dick and Harry sending something to the US has to enter these codes that they have never even heard of.
