Canada Post + Zonos
Starting August 29, 2025, a new U.S. executive order requires duty to be paid on all shipments into the United States. As a result, all postal shipments under $800 USD must have duties prepaid.
If you’re shipping parcels from Canada to the United States, you must prepay duties before your parcel crosses the border.
To support small businesses and merchants, Canada Post has partnered with Zonos® to meet the new Executive Order requirements to collect duties and remit them directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with ease.
