New USA tariff rules

Update October 2025: Hi. πŸ₯² Thank you for your feedback in the comments section!

I will now be turning on shipping to the United States once again. To start, I will be using Shopify’s internal system that will calculate and add the duty costs directly into my shop’s checkout experience. For now, these shipments will be sent out using Canada Post which can be a little bit slower than some of the other carriers I’ve used for USA orders previously.

Until I get a few sales using this new method, I won’t exactly know how quickly or smoothly these orders are getting through, or what types of issues could arise through the customs system once they reach USA, so I apologize in advance for any bumps in the road as I figure this out!

A few notes to keep in mind:

❖ The majority of my products are manufactured in China since that’s my only option to find factories to make my product designs – but this means these products could have at least a 35% tariff rate since they are of Chinese-origin

❖ The products with the lowest duties will be my socks (made in USA), or other products that list “made by Wask” or “made in Canada”

❖ If there is a product showing an extremely high duty rate at checkout, please inform me and I can see if there is a more suitable tariff category to place the product in which could lower the rate

Thank you for supporting small designers!

Holy Macro! Guessing contest.

Hey, it’s been quiet around here since it’ll still be a while before I can launch some new products… and in the meantime my friend lent me some macro lenses for a different project. So I thought it might be fun to take some macro Wask product shots!

The first 3 people to guess ALL 17 IMAGES correctly win a 6-pack of dice!

Good luck!

The dice saga continues. 😡

So it turns out my dice journey hasn’t reached a “good enough” point after all!

Long story short: after a few weeks of checking & packaging the dice, it turns out that the newest dice batch (Manufacturer E – batch 1) that has been selling this year is prone to the ink “flaking off” from use or from rolling it on surfaces. You can read all of the details on the now-updated blog entry from January!

If you purchased dice this year up until February 25th, and you noticed your dice are flaking a little, I can send you a replacement of a newer improved batch (Manufacturer E – batch 2), just reach out to Wask!

Dice + Candy Sale!

The “Dice + Candy Sale” is here for one week! From Feb 4th until Feb 11th.

I don’t have sales very often because most of my products are made in small batches and have small profit margins – being an independent designer and all! But if sales end up being manageable and beneficial for Wask then I’ll consider doing a few others in the future.

Are there other Wask products you’d like to see on sale? Maybe I can make it work!

“Sealed Fate” batch 4 πŸ˜›

Hi everyone!

There is a new, updated “silica gel candy” batch being sold right now! I wasn’t happy with the flavour of the last batch so I wanted to make sure to improve it.

Main changes:

✎ Better flavour!
✎ More “classic silica gel” feeling type paper (it kinda freaks me out)
✎ New ingredients: Sugar, Glucose, Malt Syrup, Arabic Gum, Artificial Flavour

The only downside is that the paper doesn’t rip very nicely, and it’s hard to get a perfect rip! I personally feel like the new positives outweigh this negative, but if you feel that the ripping process makes the candy experience really annoying, then please let me know! If people don’t like it, then I can look into improve it in the future.

Take care.

New Product: Cilan-troll Paper Soap

cilantro-shaped soap

My whole life I hated cilantro and my mom made me feel like I was just “being picky”, until I learned that a lot of people experience it as a “soapy” flavour and it’s likely a genetic thing!

My newest product is inspired by my experiences. If cilantro wants so badly to be soap, then let it be soap! These are the Cilan-troll Paper Soap leaf flakes, and they’re partially hand made by me as well. They turned out really pretty, not gonna lie.
