Important Update: U.S. Shipping Requirements

Effective August 29, 2025, the United States has suspended the de minimis exemption. Previously, packages valued under US$800 could enter duty-free. Now, all shipments to the U.S., regardless of value or origin, must clear customs and may be subject to duties and taxes. This applies to every shipment from McMaster to the U.S. Please click on Export from MAC – Exporting with FedEx to USA
