Update on U.S. Shipping

Due to tariffs imposed on U.S. bound postal shipments, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily pause shipping to the U.S. of online purchases from our gift shop.

As of August 29, 2025, the United States Government announced that all U.S. bound shipments valued under $800 (US) are now subject to its tariffs policy, which were previously exempt under the “de minimis exemption”. This change in policy has added costs, paperwork and uncertainty to U.S. bound shipments.

Canadian and other customers, nothing changes for you. This only affects shipments going to the U.S.

We hope this pause is only temporary and that we’ll be able to resume shipping to our friends and neighbours to the south some time soon.

Thank you for your understanding,
Dartmouth Heritage Museum Team
