The U.S. Administration has confirmed that tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico will take effect starting at 12:01 AM on March 4, 2025. However, a recent amendment to the original Executive Order clarifies that items entering the U.S. under Section 321 (the de minimis program) will remain exempt from these tariffs—at least for now—until U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) establishes a system to collect duties on these shipments.
We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as necessary.
The U.S. has postponed the 25% tariff on Canadian goods for 30 days. However, a new tariff of 10-30% has been applied to goods originating from China and Hong Kong. This means that if your fabric or notions are sourced from either of these regions, your shipment will now be subject to this tariff.
We want to keep you informed about important changes that could impact your shipments from Simplifi Fabric and SimplifiPrintShop.com based in Canada shipping to USA. On February 1, 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on most goods imported from Canada, effective February 4, 2025.
