if what la poste says is correct, i'll find out tomorrow whether i can realistically resume shipping to the US anytime in the foreseeable future. if i can't ... ...
i don't even know.*as a result of trump's tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption. my work is technically exempt, but unless i can find a feasible/affordable shipping option, and one that allows for the exemption (not all do), i'm doomed.
