VE2DX Electronics Is Shutting Down

VE2DX ELECTRONICS DESIGN MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

19 septembre 2025

1- Shipping to the USA:
https://ve2dx.com/home [1]

Please be advised that we can not and will not ship anything to the USA as of September 19th, 2025, because the shipping companies in Canada will NOT take any shipment unless WE pay YOUR tariffs in advance.

These Tariffs are from US Customs, and there have been many administrative errors, such as the fact that our products are covered under USMCA and should not be subject to any tariffs AT ALL!

As a result, US Customs is requesting that transport companies pay in advance for US citizen tariffs. Consequently, these transport companies are charging our company tariff fees, making it almost impossible to collect the payments from our customers, many weeks or months after the fact.

Let’s be very clear: we are not charging anyone any tariffs, nor is Canada. These tariffs are imposed by US Customs and are to be paid by the importer, not the Canadian exporter.

Bottom line, we will no longer be able to ship anything to the USA. We invite you to contact our US-based resellers if you need any products.

2- HamCation, HanVention, HamXposition, and other US Hamfests.

We will be cancelling our presence at ALL US hamfests for 2026 (See Point 4).

3- Is VE2DX Electronics Design for sale

YES! Please contact us if you are interested (See Point 4).

4- Are we going to close?

Yes, πŸ™ Many of you have been following and supporting us from the very beginning.

No later than last week, I was in NH to discuss a potential US partner and initiate some manufacturing in the USA, but the numbers just aren’t there. πŸ™

I am very sorry to inform you that, as of November 2025, VE2DX Electronics Design Inc. will no longer exist.

We continually strive to develop innovative approaches and technologies that can assist our fellow ham operators at a fair price. As a result, it took us far too long to become profitable. This, combined with the August 2024 floods and US Customs tariffs, makes it impossible to develop further. As a result, we must consider selling or closing our beloved company. And for those of you who heard my awful jokes in the past, YES! I will now have to do the dishes ;P

I will continue working on designs and software updates, but will no longer be marketing them. I will be happy to help as an Elmer, localy or not as I have often done.

I want to thank everyone for their support over these GREAT six years. And I hope for a QSO over the air soon…

πŸ™
