Another trade hurdle for Mopar parts - mailing parts from Canada to the USA

[72bluNblu]

only the countries that decide to use it. It looks like Australia and Canada

Well good to know for Canada and Australia anyway, thanks!

Yes I have numerous times but through ebay. I was suggesting looking at listing the part on ebay and the member in the U.S purchase it through there.
I was only suggesting looking into that and didn't claim to know one way or the other if that would be an option.

Then you'd have to pay the eBay fees AND the tariff. You'd take a bath on that, easier to just figure out how to do it yourself. Especially since @1MeanA is just helping out another member to begin with, probably not making any money on it to start.

The parts are shipped. If you don't get the Zonos app, sign up, pay any duties and get the code you aren't mailing packages to the USA. Apparently businesses and individuals are no longer shipping south. If you are not good with computers and apps too bad. I don't know how the couriers are dealing with this. Typically, coming into Canada, they charge $35-40 and up to broker the shipment plus GST and duties.

Thanks for the follow up!

Yes there are definitely businesses and individuals that have changed their international shipping policies or dropped doing it altogether. At least for the moment. This is all pretty new and I'm sure if it remains the same we'll see more people figure out the process. It definitely adds another layer of complexity to it.

I'm sure lots of businesses can't be bothered to run the app for every shipment and then chase the client for more duty money. Its hard enough to get someone to mail something these days.

What did you put down for description? Used vintage car parts? Worth ***$$ ?
Is that specific enough for them?
As mentioned thanks for following up.

Yes used classic car parts and value. It looks like their AI figures out the commodity code and related duty rate, if any.

It used to be if u put that your selling/ gifting/buying an antique car part that there was no duty on it. But u had to put antique car part for an antique vehicle. Kim

Tariffs aside, it's all a big money grab and it always has been. It's all so senseless. We're all on the same hunk of DIRT. There are always planes and trucks going everywhere. It's not like there's any special trips being made. We should be able to ship something to Alaska or Canada or Mexico just like figuring up pricing on anything in the lower 48. Same for Canada and Mexico coming here. Any "duties" or extra charges is just total bullcrap and just gettin in your wallet.

There was no duty when I entered 'used classic car parts - trans linkage' but I have no idea how it all works.
