Their still Summerland wines (HTS 2204.21.50) and Blanc de Noirs sparkling (HTS 2204.10.00) can no longer ship to the US since the import ban of September 29, 2026 (a 50% duty applied from August 22 to September 28, 2026). Global News reported owner Ron Kubek expects to lose roughly 500 cases a year of US sales, "about $120,000 to $150,000 a year". Part of the current range is made from Washington State fruit at the Summerland winery.
