Up until now, it has been mostly just the economic uncertainty that has created a lot of an effect on collection and on the collectors’ ability buy art, both in Canada, in the United States and around the world. But now there’s that added, very real impact that is being felt by artists and galleries and auction houses and anyone who works with original artworkSource: ctvnews.ca, Aug 26, 2026
Original paintings are HTS 9701.91.00, original engravings, prints and lithographs are HTS 9702.90.00 and original sculpture is HTS 9703.90.00, all on the CBP Section 338 list, so every painting, etching and bronze Gallery 78 ships to an American buyer carries a 50% duty on top of the price, in effect since August 22, 2026. Sales and communications manager Sophie Thériault told CTV News on August 26, 2026 that it lands on top of economic uncertainty that was already weighing on collectors, and that the gallery is asking buyers to think about where the work comes from.
