ARE YOUR CANADIAN GOODS BEING THREATENED BY US TARIFFS?
We can provide assistance in the preparation of CUSMA certification, assuring duty-free entrance of Canadian products into the United States. Goods that are wholly produced or obtained in Canada qualify for tariff exemption, provided they contain no foreign content. Foreign, being content from countries other than Canada, USA or Mexico. If there is some foreign content, the goods MAY qualify for duty-free status, depending on the degree of transformation those goods have undergone while in Canada (the US or Mexico). These provisions are contained in the current CUSMA agreement, which is up for renewal in 2026. Thus far at least, the current US administration appears to be honouring those provisions, excluding for aluminum and steel, which are being dealt with separately.
