  1. Just one quick correction… Com C does not ship from their Canadian Facility. They accept shipments but that’s it. Also, from what I understand about the Canadian side of the Tariffs, The product has to be made 100% in the USA (with materials from the USA) to be charged in Canada. So with the cards essentially being made in Italy, they would be tariff exempt coming into Canada. At least that’s the information we are being told by customs.

    I would assume they are also being packaged in Italy, Vs. having full sheets of uncut cards going to the US. So that would increase the products qualification for being Tariff free.

    I have no idea what the rules are going the other way.
    As always Great show guys!!
