As of August 29th this year, any shipments going from Canada to the United States needs the tariffs paid up front because USPS doesn't have the systems in place to calculate this fee on their own. The tariff rate is 35% for Canada. This fee has to be paid up front with a third party company used by Canada Post (Zonos), then, you are given a code. Then, you take that code to Canada Post, and only with this code, Canada Post will ship your package.

So, I sell you a card for $100 + $15 Shipping through Canada Post before August 29th,

After August 29th that same card is now $100 + $35 tariff + $1.99 Zonos fee + $15 Canada Post.

It's really weird, when I get a delivery with fees owed I pay on delivery at my door. Now, when I mail something to the States I have to pay the delivery fees for someone else. Why can't all fees just be paid on delivery in the States like they are in Canada? Fair? Thanks Trump!

These extra tariff charges will simply get baked into any price Americans pay for anything going forward. It's not just for cards, it's for anything you want that is not produced in the United States. Trump only wants Americans to buy American. But America doesn't make everything or have everything. That was the point of a global marketplace! Sometimes, cool things to buy are outside the United States. Oh, and by the way I love my American friends, I don't love the decision makers though.
