Good day folks, I'm in Canada and in the middle of a restoration. I have a lot of new parts that I need to buy and most vendors are in the US. Anyone buying parts lately, are you paying Tariffs on your parts?
Thanks in advance

I might be wrong, but I think classic car parts fall under the current USMCA trade agreement and are currently tariff free. Of course that doesn't stop some folks from capitalizing charging more for their parts!

PG CLASSICS has a pop up on their web site that says all shipments to the U.S. are subject to a 40 % tariff.

People are not being honest about tariffs and most don't really understand them, so I'll supply an example with round numbers.

Nike tennis shoes made in China costs $100 at Big 5 Sporting Goods in the US. That same shoe costs $10 to make in China, so the retail markup is $90. Slap a 100% tariff on the shoe and it now cost $20 ($10 to make plus $10 for the 100% tariff). So the retail can either eat the tariff and make $80 instead of $90 or they can pass the tariff onto the consumer and charge $110 for the tennis shoe. The retailer would really be dishonest if they charged 100% increase for the shoe at $200!! Any company claiming to charge the complete tariff on their products are not being honest with claims of 40% tariffs. It sounds like some parts will increase 40% in price and that's just not true! Believe me, there are a lot of people making big money having product built in China (cheap labor and cheaper materials) and then marking them up big time to sale in the US and Canada.

Those are the one's not to buy from. They should be checked out.
