USA / Canadian Tariff Information For The Air Purifier Store
What we know so far about the tariffs
As of December 12, 2025...
At this time there are still no tariffs being imposed on air purification related items or their accompanying filters/accessories shipping from or shipping to Canada.
We are seeing some sporadic issues with some of the Allerair, Amaircare and Blade orders coming from Canada to USA. See below issues for a description and potential delays. The issues have occurred at a much reduced rate than was happening in Sept and Oct, we were seeing it on a larger number of orders. We have not seen any issues so far in December, so hopefully the Customs departments have worked through all the issues. See description below of the issues.
Most all other orders are starting to ship in normal times, with some taking an additional 1-3 day delay above normal times. With a small number still experiencing 1-6 week delays at customs. And small number of orders still being assessed tariffs in error. More details on the issues is below
Why the delays and issues.
With the major policy shift of some items being tariffed along with the $800 minimum order exclusion limit for tariffs being eliminated, it has caused significant changes to volume and processes that the federal customs department and companies like UPS & Fedex follow. These significant changes to their paperwork processes and shipping processes, along with the fact that we suspect they also hired a large number of new and inexperienced employees to handle the new more complex rules at the border, has caused many new problems. Over time they seem to be improving.
The 3 issues that we are seeing occur and how we are handling:
- Packages have been returned to the manufacturers due to paperwork processing errors by customs. Sometimes multiple times after reshipping.
- Packages being held at customs without quick resolution. We are seeing the packages held for 1-6 weeks by customs before release.
- Some packages are being sent to our customers but have had Tariff codes changed/added by the customs agents during the border crossing process that incorrectly assign tariffs to the order. And a collection letter was sent to our customers for the mistaken tariff.
We know how terribly frustrating these issues are when they occur. If you receive a tariff collection letter, per required customs process all communication must be directly with the customer receiving the letter. What this means is that we will work the dispute process submittal with UPS/Fedex but all communication must go to you from fedex/ups. We will work with you on any follow up questions or clarifications requested of you by Fedex or UPS. We really apologize for this inconvenience if this does occur to you. And we really appreciate your patience while we work with customs to resolve your individual case.
Please know that the manufacturers and our company are doing everything we can to keep customers informed if any delays that occur with their shipments, or status of mistaken tariff assignment.
