Rogers shifts tariff stance as US-Canada trade tensions escalate

What if 25% tariffs on Canadian imports are implemented within 60 days?

Simulate the impact of a 25 percent ad valorem tariff applied to all Canadian imports crossing the US border, effective within two months. Model the cost increase on key commodities (automotive parts, agricultural products, forest products), calculate landed cost increases for affected supply chains, and assess sourcing rule changes that may trigger supplier diversification or nearshoring strategies.

What if sourcing from Canada becomes restricted and requires lead time extensions?

Model a scenario where tariffs force 15-20 percent of current Canadian suppliers to be replaced with alternatives. Assume replacement suppliers are located in Mexico, South Asia, or Southeast Asia, adding 14-21 days to average lead times. Evaluate inventory buffer requirements, service level impacts, and the cost of expedited freight to maintain fill rates.

What if cross-border transportation costs spike due to tariff-driven route changes?

Simulate a scenario where tariff implementation triggers supply chain reconfiguration requiring 30 percent of Canadian freight to be rerouted through alternative entry points or combined with Mexico operations. Model the transportation cost impact, including increased LTL premiums, cross-docking fees, and potential capacity constraints at alternative border crossings.
