Port of Montreal proximity looks like an advantage on a spreadsheet—shorter drayage, faster clearance. On the dock, it's more complicated. We handle this daily at FENGYE LOGISTICS, and most importers misunderstand the trade-offs between speed, cost, and operational complexity.
BMW and Ford are stripping product complexity to protect margins as tariff exposure tightens. That translates to fewer SKUs and more predictable inbound hitting Canadian sufferance warehouses.
