Maybe I could write something up for each listing that explains the process more clearly, but I find that most people would likely be confused if I said their Canadian packages would ship via USPS, so there are no tariffs - and then in another sentence say their shipping charge includes import fees + my time to do the paperwork for every order manually.
I haven't yet figured out the best way to go about it because it was working really well up until now.
When I lived in the U.S., I owned a business that shipped (importing/exporting) all around the world, so dealing with these issues isn’t new to me, but Etsy being in the middle is, and it's super annoying.
TY for making me think more about it :) Sorry for all the words!
