Effective Wednesday, May 14, 2025, the Trump administration is enforcing 30% tariffs on all goods made in China and has ended de minimis exemptions, which previously allowed packages valued under $800 USD to enter the country duty-free. Please be aware if you purchase a product on our site listed as "Made in China" and live in the United States, you may be subject to paying a 30% tariff upon receipt of the package.
Here is a link to all our products that are available to purchase without tariffs.
We are currently pausing shipments to the U.S. on these affected products until at least Friday, May 16, until we can verify the tariff rates, what other fees would be added and sort out postage rates.
These tariffs place the burden on the customer to pay these duties whether that comes in the form of extra fees or increased prices, despite White House claims.
These new rules do not just target Chinese retailers, but also small businesses in the U.S. or anywhere else that source or manufacture products or components from China. The tariffs are applied on products based on country of origin, not where it ships from (in our case, Toronto, Canada).
We have researched manufacturing in Canada, the U.S. and beyond, and we work directly with our partners to produce some of the best custom hats anywhere, sewn by some of the most skilled workers on the planet. The truth is, domestic manufacturing is not always technically capable of producing the embroidery and sewing required, and would result in a hat that would cost over $100.
Our goal has always been to provide creative, original and affordable goods for everyone. For over 10 years, our American customers have been an integral and important part of our success, and we are grateful for that.
If you do not agree with what’s happening, and you recognize how this hurts consumers and also small businesses in the U.S. and beyond, please contact your elected representatives (this handy website lets you search your address to find and contact them).
We are working on a solution, but the situation is changing by the day. This is the latest information that we have. We apologize, nobody wants this.
