Tariffs on Canadian and US Made Goods

 
February 3rd 2025

 

After talks between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, there will be a pause on proposed tariffs for 30 days.

We will take advantage of this short reprieve to ship orders furiously, while we look for more permanent solutions, if and when the pause is lifted.

We expect to resume normal shipping to our American customers, as we have always done, for the next 30 days. We anticipate border and courier delays due to higher than normal volume as businesses, on both sides of the border, scramble to stock up and secure supplies.

We will honor our original offer of covering customs for all Purolator/UPS and DHL until February 9th.


** We thank you for all the wonderful responses and support
we received to our original email!
We Truly appreciate all of you and could not want for a better community!

 

February 2nd 2025
 
Starting February 4, 2025 US President Donald Trump will be implementing a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods. Trump’s proposed tariffs would mark the end of more than 35 years of seamless trade and disrupt the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA in 2020.
 

We are not entirely sure how the new tariffs are going to affect our shipments being sent to US addresses. We wanted to send a quick message to assure our beloved American customers and friends that we value our relationship with you!  Everything else is just politics and we will work hard to navigate this BS. 

From February 3 to February 9

To ease into the new requirements, Stones and Findings will be covering any potential duties charged due to these new tariffs- to shipments being delivered to the United States through DHL or Purolator/UPS. This will only be offered until February 9th 2025 Midnight EST.
 

Please note, it is expected that customs clearance will take longer than usual to adjust to the new laws and requirements.

USPS Shipments: At this time, we are NOT able to reverse-charge potential tariffs to us, when using USPS, so that we can cover them. Hence, any potential tariffs  on USPS shipments will be the responsibility of the purchaser. 

Levied customs charges will be the responsibility of the purchaser starting February 10th, regardless of shipping method.

To All Our Customers Worldwide

 
We greatly appreciate your business and loyalty. If the Canadian government decides to implement retaliatory tariffs on goods coming in from the United States, this will affect the cost of gold-filled and other American made products which we carry.  This will, in turn, affect the cost to ALL our customers – regardless of country. 
 

Until we have further information on retaliatory tariffs on American products, we will have a price freeze on gold-filled for this week (ending February 9th). However, an increase is guaranteed if new tariffs are made into law. 

We will continue to keep you updated as we find out more information. Updates will be available on our website. We will send a new email once we know the full effects of what will be expected with these new tariffs and potential tariffs implemented by the Canadian government.

We recommend that you hold more stock for your upcoming events than you would normally.  Not only will tariffs mean taxes and delays, it also means metal prices will soon jump as a response to the uncertainty.  Please place orders by Feb 9 2025 Midnight EST, to guarantee current prices, available stock and, for our American customers, covered duties at customs.
