U.S. Tariffs Are Here—How Will They Impact Your Business?

For years, Canadian contractors, municipalities, and dealers have relied on U.S.-made snowplows from brands like Western, Boss, and Fisher. But now, with new tariffs increasing the cost of U.S. imports, those who depend on these brands are facing higher prices, lower margins, and supply chain uncertainty.

So, what does this mean for your business? And what are your best options to stay ahead of these changes? Let’s break it down.

📉 What Do These Tariffs Mean for Canadian Snow Removal Businesses?

The Canadian snow removal industry is big business, with thousands of contractors and municipalities investing in plows every year. With the new tariffs on U.S.-made snowplows, here’s what’s happening:

❌ Higher Prices on U.S. Equipment – Expect an increase in the cost of plows from brands that rely on U.S. manufacturing.
❌ Smaller Margins for Dealers – If you’re selling U.S. plows, your profit margins will shrink as prices rise.
❌ Potential Supply Chain Delays – As cross-border tariffs impact logistics, shipments from the U.S. could face delays.

In an industry where every dollar counts, an increase in upfront costs directly impacts contractors, dealers, and municipalities. If plows become more expensive and harder to get, the industry needs a better solution.

🏆 The Tariff-Free Alternative: Arctic Snowplows

Arctic Snowplows is the only fully Canadian-made, hot-dip galvanized snowplow manufacturer. Unlike U.S. brands, Arctic is built specifically for Canadian winters—and now, without the tariff-driven price increases, it’s also the smartest financial decision.

✅ No Tariffs = No Price Hikes – Arctic plows are made in Canada, meaning no added import costs.
✅ Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel – Unlike painted U.S. plows that rust fast, Arctic’s galvanized steel resists corrosion and lasts 2-3X longer.
✅ Designed for Canada’s Toughest Winters – Built to handle deep snow, ice, and salted roads without early wear and tear.

📌 What Should You Do Now?

With tariffs increasing costs on U.S. brands, the smartest move for contractors and dealers is to switch to Arctic now—before winter demand spikes.
