New Canada to US Tariffs: Is Canada Post Available Again on eBay? Which Shipping Carrier to choose?

[timber_racer]

It looks like eBay has brought back Canada Post as a shipping option to the US after the cancellation of the de minimis exemption. Still, does Canada Post charge higher fees than private carriers like UPS or FedEx?

Ninety percent of my sales was to the US, so I’d really like to understand the exact fee percentages for each carrier. Are they all similar?

Canada Post Tracked Packet USA used to be my best option, affordable and fast. eBay had removed it for a while, but now it seems to be available again.

I’ve read that the duty fee  are now at 35%, plus an additional 2.9% (for my japanese motorcycle part)

Any detailed information or feedback would be greatly appreciated....

Canada Post does not have higher shipping charges than private couriers. In fact the private companies sub-contract to CPO for many rural and isolated communities.

But the shipping fee is not made up only of postage.

And some shippers are charging sellers up front for whatever tariffs have occurred in whatever is left of Trumps brain, some are charging buyers/importers on delivery, and some are charging importers a few weeks after delivery (looking at FedEx for which they are notorious).
