Dear PDAPlaza Customers,
We want to make you aware of an important update for all orders shipped from Canada to the United States.
What Changed?
As of August 29, 2025, the United States government officially ended the $800 de minimis exemption.
- Before: U.S. buyers could receive international packages valued under US $800 duty-free.
- Now: Every shipment, regardless of value, is subject to U.S. import duties and taxes.
This policy change is part of new U.S. tariff rules that apply to all international sellers, not just PDAPlaza.
New PDAPlaza Checkout Policy (Effective September 20, 2025)
- We will continue to ship smartphones and devices to the U.S. using FedEx.
- PDAPlaza now calculates and collects the applicable U.S. import duty/tariff at checkout so we can pay it to the US customs if they charge the tariffs.
- If they are not charged within 90 days to our account, we will refund you the amount in full.
-
You will not be billed by FedEx for duties at delivery for orders placed after this change, because duties will be paid by us in case they are charged.
We appreciate your understanding as we adapt to these changes. Our team is here to help—if you have any questions, please contact us.
