Attention Authority Members,
Effective September 8, the Government of Canada will impose a new 50% counter-tariff on certain goods imported from the United States. For Authority shipments, this tariff applies to trading cards only. It does not apply to TCG products.
Trading cards shipped from the Authority to a Canadian address will be subject to the additional 50% counter-tariff, bringing the total applicable duties and tariffs to 55%.
Because the tariff is assessed when trading cards cross the U.S.–Canada border, shipments crossing the border on or after September 8 will be subject to the new tariff, regardless of when the shipment was requested.
Please note again: TCG products are not subject to this additional tariff.
We will provide updates if these conditions change. For questions, please contact Authority Customer Support through our contact page:

Dynamics Inc., the leader in security and collectible technologies, today announced that The Authority™ has imaged and vaulted over 10 million collectibles, reaching the milestone less than six months after launch.
Collectors can now submit trading cards, trading card games, memorabilia prints, comic books, trade paperbacks, coins, original artwork, and figurines to The Authority. The Authority can authenticate, grade, and encapsulate submitted collectibles.
The Authority authentication is affordable. Collectors can typically authenticate, encapsulate, and grade an item for less than $10.
The Authority grading is reliable and consistent. Items are graded using the industry’s first public grading standard.
The Authority process is fast. Items are typically processed, imaged, and vaulted in under 30 days.
“We are open for business,” said Jeff Mullen, founder and CEO of The Authority, “Collectors can enjoy reliable, consistent grading at affordable prices and with dependable turn-around times.”
The Authority has invested heavily in team members and building proprietary technologies. Adding over 100 team members and focusing heavily on automation, The Authority was able to hit this important growth milestone in under six months.
“Processing tens of millions of collectibles in a year is just table stakes” said Jeff, “The Authority is working hard to expand into imaging and vaulting hundreds of millions of collectibles in a year. That level of scale is achieved through process, automation, standards and proprietary technologies.”
