   Word from Etsy and my shipper ChitChats is that the tariffs have maintained the $800 “de minimis exemption”

   Which means that small exporters from Canada aren’t affected (yet) 🤞🏼

     Are book imports exempt from Canada/Mexico tariffs? It seems…maybe? (IANAL) Information and informational material in any kind of printed or physical digital media appears to not be covered as Congress didn't grant permission to the president in its delegation of tariff authority to include that sort of material in tariffs? Would love an expert to weigh in.

     @AccordionBruce @Infoseepage Yes, that’s spelled out explicitly in the tariff official filings! Very clear. The specific informational materials exemption I think would apply to book or DVD shipments of any size.
