Fortunato and Athena Taddei build a 105-piece catalogue in Okotoks, Alberta: the $2,200 Big Horn Coffee Table and $575 Colt accent tables in solid black walnut and ash, sixteen hardwood-and-cowhide benches from the $1,400 Longview to the $2,900 Blairmore, the Bison Lounge Chair, Cumulus wood-and-cowhide trays, wood Elk, Doe, Longhorn and Fawn lamp bases from $370 to $1,330, and some thirty designer lamp shades, most $250, printed on 100% cotton over styrene.
Taddei's coffee and accent tables are other wooden furniture, HTS 9403.60.80 on the CBP Section 338 list, and its cotton-on-styrene lamp shades are parts of luminaires under HTS 9405.99.40 — both carrying a 50% duty on top of the price since August 22, 2026, which puts $1,100 of duty on the $2,200 Big Horn Coffee Table and $125 on a $250 shade. The wood floor and table lamp bases join them at 50% under HTS 9405.29.80 when the list expands on September 15, 2026. The studio ships south on request — "Shipping to the United States Please inquire by email for rates and availability" — and has published nothing about the measure.Source: content.govdelivery.com, Aug 22, 2026
