October 8, 2026 - Navigating US–Canada Trade: Duty Mitigation & Supply Chain Adaptation

With Canadian counter-tariffs now active alongside U.S. import measures, businesses trading across the border are feeling financial and operational pressures. Whether you are a Canadian importer facing duties on U.S. materials or a Canadian exporter dealing with U.S. tariffs and shifting buyer demand, this session offers practical solutions.

Join the Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade for a digital Business Growth Academy session. Hosted by PCB Global Trade Management, this presentation provides actionable strategies to help both importers and exporters reduce duty costs, maintain border compliance, and protect bottom lines. Bring your specific cross-border challenges for direct advice from PCB Global's trade team.

Key Takeaways:

Duty Recovery & Relief: How importers and exporters can use Duty Drawbacks, CUSMA/USMCA origin rules, and tariff reclassifications to reduce active duties.
Border & Customs Compliance: Navigating CBSA and U.S. Customs requirements, preventing border holds, and accessing government relief programs.
Supply Chain & Pricing Adaptation: Adjusting freight routes, renegotiating Incoterms (like DDP vs. FOB), and restructuring vendor contracts to safeguard profit margins.
