U.S. Imports Tariffs Advisory (2025.07.31)
For me, the U.S. is literally family and friends and places I have visited and cherish.
The current continuing upheaval and chaos around U.S. import tariffs is causing confusion, and supply line impacts.
Just-in-time delivery is giving way to just-in-case inventory holding, which increases costs. Econogics has
traditionally held inventory in order to respond to customer needs quickly, including value-add services,
so that’s having only a small impact on us. What’s more of a concern is that our restock orders are taking
longer and pricing to us is becoming variable.
Our bigger concern is that our U.S. customers are going to be impacted in ways they may not expect.
As the exporter, we don’t pay the U.S. import tariffs.
It is the U.S.-based importers – our customers –
who will pay those fees, and we expect that will come as a surprise to some. This advisory is to warn
our U.S. customers, many of who we have served for more than a decade, of the possible impacts.
We are not international trade or tariff experts. We’re just a small business selling services and products
we believe in at good prices with real support. So, you probably should not rely on us as authoritative experts
on tariffs. Still, here’s our take on the situation as of August 1, 2025 (subject to change, apparently even daily).
The chargers we sell are not CUSMA (USMCA) compliant, even though the company that makes them is based in Canada.
Therefore, as of August 1, 2025, the battery chargers we sell will probably be subject to a tariff rate
that has not yet been announced as of July 31, 2025) though 35% has been mentioned.
Trump set an Aug. 1 deadline for Canada to reach a trade deal and has threatened to impose a 35 per cent tariff on
goods that don't comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) (CBC 2025.07.31)
Further, many of our customers order very small quantities (e.g., 1 charger) and they need the units on an urgent basis
(e.g. for medical aids where the existing unit has finally failed after years of reliable service).
We are particularly saddened by the expected impact of the tariffs on those people and their families.
These orders used to qualify for a de minimis exemption
from U.S. import tariffs. Apparently, as of August 29th, 2025, this will no longer be the case.

We are providing links to media articles for these new tariff items, because as of this morning (July 31), we cannot find
any substantive information on them on any U.S. government website (directly or via web searches).
Clearly, shipping small quantities of battery chargers into the U.S. through established legal channels to people
who need them has nothing to do with alleged massive quantities of fentanyl crossing the border illegally.
We hope that this can all be sorted out so we can get back to serving people who need affordable, quality battery chargers.
