NOTICE TO OUR U.S. CUSTOMERS: TARIFFS ON CERTAIN ITEMS

*Aug 27, 2026.

Due to the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States, certain Canadian goods entering the U.S. are now subject to an additional 50% import tariff.

This affects a number of items we sell and ship from Canada, including Art Prints, Tarot/Card Decks, Jewellery, Original Art Pieces, and other products generally found under our ARTEFACTS section. Apparel is not affected, as it is produced and shipped within the United States.

For the time being, Books and Music remain outside the scope of these particular tariffs.

To minimize the costs passed on to customers, applicable duties will be calculated on the declared customs value of affected goods, in accordance with applicable customs requirements, rather than their retail price.

Customers placing U.S. orders containing affected items will be contacted before shipment and asked to pay the applicable tariff amount. Unfortunately, as a small independent publisher and retailer, we have no other choice but to pass on these externally imposed costs.

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
OF SHIPPING TO CERTAIN EU COUNTRIES

*Jul 16, 2026.

Due to recent changes in European Union customs regulations, Canada Post has temporarily suspended parcel services to the following EU countries while compliant shipping solutions are being implemented:

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Spain.

The new regulations introduce additional customs requirements and fees on parcels valued at up to €150 entering the European Union from outside the bloc. As a result, Canada Post has temporarily ceased accepting shipments to the countries listed above while it adapts its systems to meet these new requirements.

At present, courier services such as UPS and DHL remain available; however, their shipping costs are unfortunately prohibitively expensive for most of our orders.

Customers residing in the affected countries who place an order will be contacted and offered the choice of either:

• Receive a full refund of their order.
• Have their order safely held until Canada Post resumes service to their destination.
• Upgrade their shipment to UPS or DHL by paying the difference in shipping costs.

Canada Post continues to accept shipments to all other EU countries not listed above.

We sincerely apologize for this temporary inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while this situation is being resolved.
