Since June 2024, the U.S electric vehicle industry has been impacted by Section 301 tariffs which forced many retailers to increase prices. What does this mean for companies in Canada and customers ordering from the U.S?
For Canadian shipments to the U.S., Section 301 tariffs do not directly apply, as these tariffs are generally targeted at specific countries like China. However, the impact could still be felt indirectly in certain cases:
-
Products Made with Chinese Components: Unfortunately, components or material from China that are subject to Section 301 tariffs may affect shipping duties and taxes of the final product, when sold into the U.S.
-
Supply Chain Disruption: Goods from countries affected by Section 301 tariffs may result in delays or increased costs, potentially influencing pre-order vehicles.
Thankfully, no price adjustments or order delays are in the foreseeable future. For U.S customers, this is a great time to take advantage of savings from a Canada source!
Most of our electric vehicles include free shipping (including duties/taxes) to Canada and the U.S.
