In a move that could have broad appeal for U.S. retailers, the Canadian
government will no longer impose tariffs on imported baby clothes and
selected sports equipment. The tariff elimination comes in response to
complaints from Canadian consumers about the high cost of consumer goods
in Canada, especially when compared with identical items sold in the
United States. Removal of the tariffs levels the playing field and
presents an opportunity for U.S. businesses to take advantage of
Canada’s growing e-commerce market.
“Elimination of these tariffs, which added as much as 18 percent to the cost of baby clothes and sporting goods, is yet another reason why Canada holds so much potential for U.S. businesses,” said John T. Costanzo, president of Purolator International, a leading provider of logistics and delivery services for shipments traveling between the U.S. and Canada.
