Sam and her mum, Mama Lily, hand-knit made-to-order Christmas stockings in six styles out of Cochrane, Alberta — Themed and Custom Mash Up at CA$155, Cable Knit, Vintage Holiday, Fair Isle and Nordic Inspired at CA$145, plus matching mini pet stockings at $80 — each drawn up from scratch with the buyer's own colours, names and motifs and knit over 20 to 30 hours.
A hand-knit Christmas stocking is an article for Christmas festivities under HTS 9505.10.25, a line on the CBP Section 338 list — CBP put a knitted-fabric Christmas stocking on exactly that subheading in ruling N323824 — so every stocking Lily N' Stitch ships to an American family now carries a 50% duty on top of the price, in effect since August 22, 2026. On the shop's own CA$155 themed stocking that is about $77.50 in duty on a piece that took 20 to 30 hours to knit, and the shop quotes one flat cross-border rate for it: "There is a $20 flat rate for Canadian and US orders, with orders over $400 shipping free." Lily N' Stitch has published nothing about the measure.Source: content.govdelivery.com, Aug 22, 2026
Made in Canada
Nothing is farmed out: the home page says each stocking is "Created in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦" and "Custom-designed and hand-knit from start to finish", and the contact page reads "Proudly hand-knit in Alberta, Canada" — "Sending a little piece of home to families all around the world."

- HTS 9505.10.25 · Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof, Articles for Christmas festivities and parts and accessories thereof, Christmas ornaments, Other, Other · 50% since Aug 22, 2026
The shop sells nothing but Christmas stockings — its order page lists "Themed - CA$155", "Cable Knit - $145", "Vintage Holiday - $145", "Fair Isle - $145" and "Nordic Inspired - $145", each "Custom-designed and hand-knit from start to finish". A knitted Christmas stocking is an article for Christmas festivities; it is neither the glass line 9505.10.10 nor the wood line 9505.10.15, neither of which is on the CBP Section 338 list. CBP classified a knitted-fabric Christmas stocking on this line in ruling N323824: "The applicable subheading for the American Girl Holiday Stocking, SKU #HKF68-MF1A, will be 9505.10.2500", and the eight-digit line 9505.10.25 is on the list.
Rates are the additional US duty under Section 338. About the tariffs
