Service Updates Due to Trade War
What and Why
We are sharing the latest updates on international wine compliance and delivery during ongoing trade wars, specifically for exporting U.S. manufactured wines.
It is our intention to inform our customers with the latest and relevant information so that we can navigate through these challenges together, without drama.
This page and our Intl DTC App will be continually updated with the latest information.
Destination countries
Canada: As of June 1, 2025, U.S.-manufactured liquor (including wine) products are only allowed into Alberta (AB) and Saskatchewan provinces, but with higher import duties.
For AB, the new duty rates for DTC are around 40-50%: (A) + (B) + (C)
(A) 10%: Duties(B): 25%: Tariff Surcharges; new(C): 5-15%: ALGC Markup; increased
Other countries: International DTC is still allowed and there are no changes to our service and fees.
Potential impacts
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. administration announced new tariffs with a base rate of 10% and higher rates for over 100 countries around the world. This could prompt reactions from these countries, potentially leading to higher duties, taxes, or import restrictions on American wines.
