U.S. Import Ban Hits $20B Canadian Goods: Alcohol, Whey, Motorcycle Shock
Effective Sept. 29, U.S. import bans on Canadian alcohol, whey, molasses, and motorcycles will force abrupt supplier shifts, border re-routing, and inventory rebalancing. The ban follows 50% tariffs on $20B in Canadian goods, compressing logistics margins and disrupting cross-border distribution. Procurement teams must now plan for absolute non-tariff barriers, not just cost increases.
