While about one-third of small exporters were impacted by tariffs on non-compliant goods, only 26% managed the import process themselves \u2014 a requirement to claim refunds.<\/p>\n
“While it’s good news that some Canadian exporters may get over a year’s worth of tariff revenue back, it’s not an easy system to navigate. Canadian firms will need a US customs account, a US bank account, and may have to work with their customs brokers to get a refund,” said Dan Kelly, CFIB president.<\/p>\n
Kelly added that the rebates will not help those businesses affected by sectoral tariffs, including steel and aluminum, cars, softwood lumber or furniture.<\/p>\n
“Sectoral tariffs are, sadly, still in place and are having a deep impact on many Canadian small firms. This mess is a reminder that Canada-US trade is not just a big business issue and progress on a renewed CUSMA agreement can’t come soon enough,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n
The limited reach of the program comes as Canada prepares for a broader reassessment of its economic ties with the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While about one-third of small exporters were impacted by tariffs on non-compliant goods, only 26% managed the import…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[49,48,859,17781,44,11274],"class_list":{"0":"post-620919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-exporters","11":"tag-cfib","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-small-business"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
