Canada tariffs escalate: US consumer goods at risk

What if tariffs increase landed costs by 15-25% on key product categories?

Model the scenario where Canadian retaliatory tariffs create a 15-25% increase in landed costs for consumer goods, automotive components, and agricultural products sourced from Canada. Simulate the impact on procurement budgets, customer pricing strategies, and margin compression across affected business units over a 6-month horizon.

What if supply chain teams need to shift 30% of Canadian sourcing to alternative suppliers?

Simulate a sourcing diversification scenario where 30% of goods currently sourced from Canada are redirected to suppliers in Mexico, the US, or non-tariff regions. Model the lead time impacts (typically 2-4 weeks longer for new suppliers), qualification timelines, and total cost of ownership changes including tariff avoidance benefits versus supplier transition costs.

What if lead times from Canada increase by 3-4 weeks due to clearance delays?

Model increased border clearance times and administrative processing delays resulting from tariff escalation. Simulate the scenario where cross-border transit times extend by 3-4 weeks, requiring safety stock adjustments, demand planning recalibration, and potential service level impacts. Evaluate the cost of inventory buffers versus risk of stockouts.
