Two US businesses are suing to overturn Section 301 tariffs, arguing they're a workaround to reimpose previously removed duties. Canadian importers caught in the uncertainty often move inbound goods into bonded warehouses to stash them off the books until tariff clarity emerges. When that happens, dock-to-stock windows slip, drayage detention charges accumulate, and our bonded warehouse dwell extends by days or weeks.
Section 338 tariffs apply to Canadian imports, including goods that qualify for duty-free treatment under CUSMA. CBSA is now reassessing duty classifications on flagged goods, holding them at port pending reclassification. For warehouses and forwarders, this creates dwell time, drayage detention charges, and dock-to-stock SLA pressure.
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have carriers routing around the Cape of Good Hope instead of transiting Suez, adding roughly 14 days to India-Europe voyages. For Canadian importers sourcing from Asia, that ripple hits the dock hard: longer container dwell, bunched arrivals, crushed cross-dock cutoffs, and detention costs that stack before cargo even arrives at Port of Montreal.
Container detention at Port of Montreal charges by the hour after free time expires. A typical drayage window sits between 06:30 and 18:00 EDT, and missing that window costs you a bed at the dock or a night at a cross-dock facility. The cost isn't just detention — it's the ripple effect on your dock-to-stock timeline and pick-pack schedule.
Webinars are everywhere. Most supply chain professionals see three or four a quarter. Very few actually teach you how to run your operation. The difference between a webinar that wastes an hour and one that saves you weeks of dock delays comes down to a single thing: does it cover what actually happens at your dock door?
