U.S. Tariffs

KYC Sports U.S. Import Tariff Policy

Effective Date: March 4, 2025
Last Updated: March 4, 2025

Overview

KYC Sports Ltd. is committed to providing high-quality hockey equipment at competitive prices. As part of our international shipping policy, we want to clarify the responsibility for import duties and tariffs when shipping products to the United States.

Tariff Responsibility

As of March 4, 2025, a 25% tariff is applied to certain goods imported from Canada into the United States. This tariff is imposed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and is the sole responsibility of the importer of record (the buyer).

KYC Sports Ltd. is not liable for any tariffs, import duties, or additional fees associated with U.S. customs clearance. The recipient (customer) is responsible for paying these charges as required by U.S. regulations.

Who is Liable for Tariffs?

  • Individual Customers (Retail Orders):
    If you are purchasing products from KYC Sports and shipping them to the U.S., you are considered the importer of record. You are responsible for paying any applicable tariffs upon delivery or as required by CBP.

  • Team Orders & Bulk Purchases:
    Teams, organizations, or businesses purchasing in bulk and shipping to the U.S. are the importers of record. Any applicable tariffs or customs fees will be the responsibility of the purchasing organization.

  • Dealers & Resellers:
    If you are a dealer or reseller purchasing KYC Sports products for resale in the U.S., you are responsible for handling all import duties and tariffs associated with your shipment.

Customs Clearance & Payment

  • U.S. Customs may require tariff payments before releasing the shipment. The shipping carrier (e.g., UPS, FedEx, or Canada Post/USPS) will typically notify the recipient of any outstanding duties or fees.

  • Failure to pay required tariffs may result in delays, refusal of the package, or return-to-sender shipping fees, which will be the responsibility of the customer.

Exemptions & Alternatives

  • If you have a U.S.-based shipping address or a freight forwarder, you may explore options for consolidating shipments to reduce tariff impact.

  • Some hockey equipment categories may qualify for different tariff rates; consult U.S. Customs for classification details.

Agreement to Terms

By placing an order with KYC Sports Ltd. for shipment to the United States, you acknowledge and agree to these terms. KYC Sports Ltd. is not responsible for tariff-related charges, and failure to comply with U.S. customs requirements will not be grounds for order cancellation or refund.
