"A UPS spokesperson previously told Business Insider that, "Because of changes to US import regulations, we are seeing many packages that are unable to clear customs due to missing or incomplete information about the shipment required for customs clearance." The spokesperson said "more than 90% of all imported packages" that move through UPS's network clear customs the first day that they arrive in the US."
"My No. 1 customer base is in the US, by a large margin. I spend easily over 150,000 Canadian dollars shipping into the US every single year. This year, for better or worse, has been very transformative for shipping. We started seeing tariffs on our US shipments after "Liberation Day" this spring. It wasn't the end of the world, since the baseline tariff was between 10% and 15%."
E6 Forged imports and sells wheels from Taiwan for high-end cars, and E6 Carbon fabricates and repairs auto parts in Ontario. The businesses ship heavily to US customers and spend over CA$150,000 annually on US shipments. Tariffs began after Liberation Day, with a baseline between 10% and 15%. The August de minimis change for items under $800 increased customs scrutiny and processing. Some packages destined for the US have been unable to clear customs, gone missing, or had incorrect tariffs applied. UPS attributed many customs failures to changes in US import regulations and missing or incomplete shipment information. The business is switching shipping services.
