Minimize Tariff Exposure on U.S. TO Canada Shipments – Here's How Moto Can Help

As of April 9, 2025, new U.S. tariffs have taken effect on a wide range of goods imported from China and other countries, including the removal of the de minimis exemption for low-value shipments. If your U.S. suppliers are sourcing products from China for delivery into Canada, there’s a smart way to bypass these U.S. tariffs entirely - shipping in bond.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Your U.S.-based supplier delivers the shipment to a U.S. bonded warehouse directly from China or another country.

  2. The goods stay under bond, meaning they don’t enter U.S. commerce - avoiding U.S. import tariffs.

  3. Moto picks up the goods in bond and delivers them directly to your facility in Canada.

  4. Duties are assessed only once at Canadian customs, with no impact from U.S. tariffs.

This process is perfect for Canadian importers purchasing from U.S. suppliers or brokers sourcing international goods.
