How PiVAL’s US Tariff Reduction Strategy Works
1. Import Through Canada
Goods arrive at a Canadian port instead of entering the US directly. Any duties are paid in Canada, not the US.
2. Store in Canadian Warehouse
Inventory is held in secure, ISO-certified facilities near key US border crossings.
3. Distribute to the uS as needed
Products are shipped across the border in small batches based on real-time demand.
4. Recover Canadian Duties (When Eligable)
If goods aren’t sold in Canada, applicable duties may be refunded through proper documentation.
5. Improve Cashflow & Flexibility
Spreading tariff payments over time protects cash flow and reduces financial risk from US tariff swings.
