A lot of international sellers ( myself included) have put our
Online Stores ( ebay & Etsy ) on vaycay for awhile until the dust settles.
The rules for selling into the USA seem to change daily .
For us Canadian Sellers it appears that selling US coins to an American
buyer is going to be tariff free with a lot of extra paperwork and associated
costs through a third party cross border shipper . So still doable by the looks of it .
For Coins of Mexico and Canada also doable , tariff free under CUSMA ( the
alleged Free Trade Agreement between all three North American countries)
for now but the paperwork again comes with a cost and is somewhat unwieldy.
We have shipped items not coin related in the last week that went through no
issues . These were Sewing patterns and Tupperware made in USA from my
Wife's Etsy and ebay Stores . Our American customers received their orders
no issues and no Tariff charges .
Dealing with Canada Post at this time for US shipments appears to be a
bit of a gong show according to the Post mistress at our local RPO.
I mailed a document, letter mail to a coin dealer in WA yesterday and got the
third degree as to what was inside .
She said the Zonos app which must be used for DDP to the USA is not
always accurate and that items were being either seized or returned at senders
expense . She said it is bat nut crazy as to what is going on !
