Frequently asked questions

What is the Harmonized System (HS) code?

The Harmonized System is an internationally standardized classification for traded goods, maintained by the World Customs Organization. HS codes use a 6-digit structure — the first two digits identify the chapter, with subsequent digits providing progressively finer product classification used to determine applicable tariff rates.

How do US tariffs affect Canadian exporters?

US tariffs increase the landed cost of Canadian goods, reducing price competitiveness in the American market. This can compress margins, divert trade flows to alternative markets, and in severe cases force supply chain restructuring — particularly for sectors with thin margins like agriculture and manufacturing.

What is CUSMA/USMCA and how does it affect tariff rates?

CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement) is the trilateral trade agreement that replaced NAFTA in 2020. It provides preferential — often zero — tariff rates for goods that meet specific rules of origin, including regional value content and tariff shift requirements.

What is a Regional Value Content (RVC) threshold?

RVC is the minimum percentage of a product's value that must originate within CUSMA member countries to qualify for preferential tariff treatment. Thresholds vary by product category — automotive parts require 75% RVC, while other goods may require 50-60%.

How often do tariff rates change?

Tariff schedules can change through trade negotiations, executive action, or legislative processes. The US can impose tariffs rapidly through Section 201, 232, or 301 investigations. Canada's retaliatory tariffs may follow on shorter timelines during active trade disputes.

What does tariff risk tier mean?

Risk tiers classify tariff entries by exposure severity: Critical indicates immediate disruption risk to trade flows, High signals significant margin pressure, Moderate reflects manageable but notable cost impacts, and Low represents minimal tariff-related risk to current trade patterns.
