I'm hoping someone more experienced can help me out here. I'm preparing to send tea from Canada to the United States, and the two carriers I've checked out won't ship it anymore. (I did the same research back in July and the situation was much different.)

Has anyone sent tea to the States since de minimis ended on August 29, or has anyone from the U.S. received tea shipments from other countries since that time? How did you do it?

shipping stuff to the US from canada seems like a nightmare. just today, i had a box of empty spray bottles sent back to canada by US customs because it's an "FDA product", wtf

Yikes! I talked to two tea vendors who ship to the U.S. via FedEx and Canada Post, respectively. I was supposed to have a phone appointment with FedEx yesterday, but they never called.
