US Shipping Resumed

USA Flag House

Updated February 1, 2026

We have resumed shipping to the United States effective February 1, 2026. Due to changes in U.S. import regulations that came into effect on August 29, 2025, the following conditions now apply to all orders shipped to the U.S.:

  1. All delivery date commitments for U.S. orders are suspended. While most shipments arrive within approximately 5 business days, U.S. Customs may hold packages for additional inspection, which can result in longer delivery times. Al-Karam Sweets has no control over U.S. customs clearance timelines. As such we will not refund or cancel any orders once they have shipped if there is a delay in delivery.
  2. All U.S. shipments will include a $20 CAD / $15 USD tariff and brokerage surcharge, reflecting fees charged by shipping carriers. This amount will be included in the shipping cost at checkout.
  3. To help facilitate customs clearance and reduce delivery delays, U.S. customers are strongly encouraged to provide a Social Security Number (SSN), as requested by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Providing an SSN is voluntary, but orders that include an SSN are typically cleared more quickly.
    Customers with U.S. shipping addresses will be contacted separately to request this information. For more details, please refer to this U.S. Customs and Border Protection guidance.
