We live in an interconnected world. As an American, I’d like to know some ways that I could purchase goods, in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Canada and Mexico, and still avoid the tariffs.

If you spent 48 hours or more abroad then you can claim an $800 exemption from duties. This is the case for both Canada and the US (except the dollars is the respective currency). USA gets a fixed $200 exemption for every crossing if the other one doesn’t apply, Canada requires a 24 hour minimum stay for any exemptions, but in practicality if you tell CBSA you have around $200 of stuff that isn’t alcohol, most (especially at road/rail borders) will just wave you through without needing to fill out duty forms and pay.
