I just wanted to put up a quick message about the political situation that occurred this past weekend to keep our clients informed with what we know and how it is affecting things here.
We are importers and , of course, it will have a direct affect on all items we import for inventory and for clients, As far as we know, this will only affect goods made in the USA, not all goods coming in from the USA.
We have noticed a big increase in sales since the announcement by Trudeau, so, please be patient as we try to get orders shipped in a timely manner. Customers are trying to buy before the 25% increase happens (if it happens)
May products we carry are, of course, made in the USA. (a partial list is below) Some we are direct and others we get from Canadian distributors or a combination of the two. For these products, we we no longer be importing in the short term until we see how long it looks like this may last. It would be disastrous for us to bring in a large amount of inventory with the 25% tariff paid to Trudeau only to have it be taken off before we sell the product. 25% would far exceed the profit margin and we would be selling at a significant loss. It would be my prediction that our Canadian suppliers will do much the same; hold off importing any USA products at least until it looks like this will be in place for the long term.
If and when USA imports do resume, of course, retail prices will increase by the 25% tariff amount.
