VE2DX is closing up shop and will no longer offer radio products, as a result of US tariffs.

https://www.amateurradio.com/yet-another-loss-to-the-amateur-radio-market/

#hamradio #tariffs
1- Shipping to the USA: Please be advised that we can not and will not ship anything to the USA as of September 19th, 2025, because the shipping companies in Canada will NOT take any shipment unless WE pay YOUR tariffs in advance. These Tariffs are from US Customs, and there have been many administrative errors, such as the fact that our products are covered under USMCA and should not be subject to any tariffs AT ALL! As a result, US Customs is requesting that transport companies pay in advance for US citizen tariffs. Consequently, these transport companies are charging our company tariff fees, making it almost impossible to collect the payments from our customers, many weeks or months after the fact. Let's be very clear: we are not charging anyone any tariffs, nor is Canada. These tariffs are imposed by US Customs and are to be paid by the importer, not the Canadian exporter. Bottom line, we will no longer be able to ship anything to the USA. We invite you to contact our US-based resellers if you need any products.

We have a measles outbreak in South Carolina. Now, not only are we failing to address today’s healthcare problems, we are bringing back yesterday’s healthcare problems.

Well done Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and RFK Jr.
