US/Canada Tariff Information

August 29 2025 Update

With the removal of all De Minimus by the US Government it has been decided that we will not be reinstating any shipping to the United States for the foreseeable future. This is due in part to limitations with our eCommerce system that prevent us from reliably calculating and charging the duty payments we are required to collect and pay before our shipping carrier will process any US-bound shipments.

If for any reason you absolutely must place an order with us, please send us an email to contact@boardgames.ca. We will try our best to accommodate orders requested this way — please note however that our usual restrictions to international shipping as outlined on our Shipping & Returns page will still apply. Please note that any orders placed in this way will be subject to a minimum of 35% duty fees in addition to the product's base cost and shipping, and all duties are calculated based on the product's Country of Origin.

April 30 2025 Update

To our US customers, effective today April 30 2025 we will no longer be accepting US orders. We have made this decision due to the repeal of the De Minimus Rule. While we are located in and operate out of St. Albert, Alberta the majority of board games we carry are manufactured in China. With the abolishment of De Minimus on all products of Chinese origins regardless of where the product is being shipped from we have decided to suspend our US shipping offerings.

Due to the supply chain of board games, no longer having De Minimus may result in instances where you, the US consumer may be tariffed on a product multiple times, and we don't want that for you. For more information on De Minimus and what it did please see the following article:https://www.strtrade.com/trade-news-resources/str-trade-report/trade-report/april/details-on-elimination-of-de-minimis-eligibility-for-imports-from-china

This was not a decision we have made lightly, and we appreciate all of you who have purchased from us over the years.
