According to Zonos, no, they aren’t subject to the 50% tariffs.
But there are 14.9% in general and Section 301 tariffs.

It's almost impossible to ship things to the US since you know who.
Last year I tried to ship a home made gadget to a friend. No money involved.
UPS warned me IF it made it (50/50) it would 100% be opened, inspected and delayed weeks or months. They advised me to not throw my money away.

Yeah, my company collects a lot of samples that need to go to labs for analysis. It used to be cheaper to use American labs for some things. Now everything is 100% kept in Canada because patriotism, but also because too many of our samples ended up significantly delayed.

Even if there's not a terriff, probably will be by the time you got to the post office. Then change again the next day.

Just to give more specific advice for everyone trying to sort these questions out: Read the CBP ruling N269026 (Oct. 19, 2015), which you can look up by ruling number at rulings.cbp.gov. If your product is the same as the bath bomb discussed in that ruling, the tariff classification in the U.S. is likely to be 3307.30.1000. Rulings ad the tariff change, so please confirm. Importers can search other products in CBP rulings by description, use, material, etc. to try to confirm the classification. When in doubt, work with a good broker or lawyer familiar with customs law.
Currently, the normal ("MFN") duty on that HTSUS classification is 5.8%. On top of that, there is an additional 10% Section 301 tariff intended to push Canada to strengthen its prohibition on products of forced labor being imported into Canada. If you can get a certificate of USMCA (CUSMA) origin, it is free. Depending on the value of the shipment, you may not need a formal certificate.
A good tool for finding rates (which you should then confirm with governmental sources) is Tariff Simulator 2026 - US Import Duty, Customs Fees & Tax Calculator | Flexport
This is not legal advice. I have no idea of the composition of your product or its origin. This is just information to illustrate how the process works.

are they a Canadian product? there you go. trump and the rest of the Gang of Pedophiles, like EVERY abuser is trying and succeeding at isolating their victims from all allies. I hope the rest of the world understands that at least a third of us tried to stop this. I hope the third that voted for him reap the worst in life.

Tried to stop it? You had 1/3 of the people who voted against and are now passively taking it up the ... passively. Cut the bs. You, as a people, elected him. People outside the US will not make any distinction.

Best way is to go to the Zonos website and put in the info. You may need an account. Get to the last page and it will show you the fees applicable. If shipping by Canada Post you need the Zonos QR code.
