A screengrab from the Canada Post site: Sending to the U.S. – new duties The changes apply to all shipments from Canada, whether they are sent via Canada Post, or another shipping company. This means that gifts under US$100 in value, documents, and returned items, need to be assessed for duties, and a declaration ID obtained, before the U.S. will accept it. New requirements when sending items to the U.S. with Canada Post All U.S.-bound postal shipments must have duties prepaid by the sender due to the U.S. Executive Order 14324, effective August 29, 2025. Canada Post can now only accept a U.S.-bound package from a sender if it has proof that duty has been paid. This proof comes in the form of a Declaration ID – a 13-character code that confirms duties have been prepaid. Canada Post has partnered with Zonos® to meet the new U.S. requirements to collect duties and remit them directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
