Of course there's an app you need to use. Ugh.

Smuggle things into the US across the forests and ship them from the first US post office.

Homing Canadian gees can carry a lot more.

So I need to change my product pages to charge US customers perhaps 40-50% more to compensate for the effort.
I need to get the Zonos app, set up an account and payment method, enter order details, pay the 35% duty, then go to the post office (where they already get easily confused by QR-codes for pre-configured shipping) and show them yet another QR code and then I can ship.
I guess many makers will just be removing the sell-to-USA option from our operation.

@GustavinoBevilacqua They will get your goods to the US, but they'll fight the customer who wants to pick them up.

…I guess, being an Android App to pre-pay US tariffs through the app before shipping, that would mean Google gets a cut of that payment too.
So – I'm not going to ship my little gizmos to USA anymore. I'd have to charge 5-10x the price (typically about $3 each) just to make it worth my while for time spent with extra apps, accounts and junk.
I'm guessing this mess will all go away in a few months (or years?).
