Windsor-Essex imports from the U.S. are a vital part of the local economy.

About $14.4 billion worth of goods was imported from the United States into Windsor in 2023 , up from $10.9 billion in 2021 .

The region had 1,574 importers of products from the US in 2021 — more than Halifax .

Businesses need to fully understand the cost of tariffs to their operations and make plans for mitigation.

Canada has a remissions process that can allow businesses an exemption from import tariffs if they can show they're devastating to the business.

Companies should also map out supply chains and look for substitute suppliers that will not be affected by tariffs, KPMG Canada's Joy Nott said.
