Introduction

In the ever-changing landscape of international shipping, businesses engaged in export to US and import from US operations face a new challenge: the potential implementation of new tariffs by the United States on Canadian imports. This development underscores the critical need for flexible and efficient logistics solutions in today’s global trade environment.

According to recent reports from Law360 Canada, the Canadian government has launched its 2025 pre-budget consultations amidst growing uncertainty surrounding these potential tariffs.
