Shipping FBM from Canada to US
We are based in Canada and sell our products in both Canada and the US. Our average sale is about $15. We ship in Canada via Canada Post without a tracking number, as it falls under the $30 threshold.
We have been suspended from the US side since their threshold is set at $10. We had been shipping into the US for several years without a problem, using USPS first-class mail via Chit Chats without tracking. As you can imagine, the cost to use a tracked service in the US is higher than any potential profit that I might realize
I was wondering if anyone else had the same situation, and what can be done to have my account reinstated for the US.
Thanks

I'm surprised that Chit Chats still allows you to ship USPS first class mail from Canada.
The US CBP suspended that with Stallion Express as all shipments now need to go though formal entry with the removal of de minimis.
We seem to have the best rates with our Canada Post Commercial Account. We used to use UPS mail innovations with Stallion, but it became more expensive and is iffy right now with customs. All our Canada Post US bound shipments are going through.
You would have to follow the instructions in your performance notification.
