Sorry for no updates and being super quiet lately, this stuff's been a bit of a nightmare and I'm fatigued from trying to figure it all out. I'll update soon!

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Sep 12

It's going to take me some time to adjust, but that's the new reality I guess. It's definitely going to impact what I produce and how I sell it. I'll have to phase out selling shirts online; for now I'll just have a few for sale at IRL events. It's sad, but also I'm ready to do other things.

Good news: Verified that original art, prints, art books etc should be exempt from tariffs/duties into the U.S. Did a test shipment yesterday, I'll keep an eye on it.

Bad news: Shirts/other merch not exempt at all, would be subject to around 40% additional charges shipped to U.S.

Gonna buy one next time I see you tablin', I need

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Sep 9

OC? Love this

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Aug 26

I've cut back on using Chit Chats the past few months after they lost a large international package and had really horrible customer service (only available via e-mail, which they use AI to reply to). But yeah, it's definitely available and an option.

I got a biz acct with DHL, I'll talk to my rep there also

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Aug 26

Thats what I'm wondering also. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when they roll it out. I'll share info when I find anything more out.

I'm not a CARFAC member yet but maybe its a good time for me to do that...

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Aug 26

I also have the unique situation that I screen print a lot of shirts, the garments are U.S. made. I don't want U.S. customers to get dinged for that when there's no real reason to. 😮‍💨

It sounds like art/prints should be duty free, but as of now I don't know how that will work with Canada Post. I'm wondering if I'll need some kind of certificate of origin, or if putting the right HST code will suffice. Do you happen to have any info on this? I'll share if I learn more too...

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Aug 26

Thanks for posting this - Canadian printmaker here, who mostly ships to the U.S. and having trouble navigating this. I spoke with Canada Post today, their info says all shipments going to the US will be required to be sent DDP with duties paid through a third party service (that isn't available yet)

Pete Ellison @peteellison.com · Aug 18

My shop is back online! Thank you everybody who came by Art Throb yesterday! New stuff available now at www.peteellison.com. PS I have quite a few XL & 2X sizes of these ones. Drum & Bass has been selling quick!

This is my newest character DJ Wet Nose! His sets are eclectic but his favorite genre is Dog House.

"Drum & Bass" has blue on turquoise tee, "Rally House" is green on vintage white. Both hand screen printed by me on 100% cotton Canvas brand tees. Made 16/ea, in my shop now! www.peteellison.com
