End of De Minimis Exemption

Update - September 22: US Shipping Fully Resumed

 

US shipping is finally back! Our operations are now set up in the U.S., and we will be offering a selection of sticks shipped directly from the US without tariffs. The selection will be limited at first but will expand over time.

These sticks will be available in the “Ship From U.S.” collection. We also suggest using the “Ship From US” filter when browsing our catalog to display only those products. In addition, we’re working on a new website design to make it easier to see which products are shipped from the US

We have also reactivated shipping for all products sent from Canada, with tariffs already included in the selling price. We apologize in advance if some price increases seem high—for example, tariffs on Chinese-made goods (Bauer and CCM sticks) are currently around 30%. These tariffs are entirely beyond our control. To help offset them, we’ve even reduced our margins.

The price you see at checkout will be the final price. No additional fees or tariffs will be charged upon delivery.

We’re excited to once again serve our U.S. customers.

Thank you!


 

Update - September 6: US Shipping Partially Resumed

As we continue our efforts to set up operations in the US to minimize the impact of tariffs on our customers, we have decided to resume US shipping for gear items, including gloves, skates, and other protective equipment. Unfortunately, shipping is still unavailable for sticks.

Tariffs and duties are already included in the item prices, meaning you will not have to pay anything extra upon delivery

We’ve reduced our margins on every item to offset some of the tariffs, but unfortunately, it’s impossible to absorb them entirely.

Thanks for your patience. We will continue to provide updates on this page



Update - August 26: US Shipping Temporarily Unavailable

As you may know, the US de minimis exemption is scheduled to end Friday, August 29th under Executive Order 14324, unless a last-minute change occurs.

This exemption allowed shipments under $800 USD to enter the US duty-free. With the exemption revoked, tariffs will apply to most products, affecting many businesses outside the US that serve American customers.

How this affects our business:

  • Every order shipped from outside the US will now be subject to tariffs based on the country of origin, creating additional costs and paperwork.

What we plan to do to minimize the impact:

  1. Reduce our margins where possible to offset some of the tariffs. 

  2. Keep inventory sourced in the US within the US to ship directly, avoiding tariffs, reducing shipping delays

  3. Expand our network of US-based teams to offer a great selection

The second and third points will be our main focus, as they will allow us to continue offering a wide selection at the lowest prices possible.

However, it will take some time to fully set up operations in the US and determine the best way to handle these changes. In the meantime, we have temporarily paused US shipments.

We sincerely value your support and remain committed to serving our US customers. Even as tariffs take effect, we will work tirelessly to minimize price increases, maintain timely delivery, and keep our products accessible and affordable. Thank you for being a valued custome
