Probably but with how weak the Canadian dollar is you can probably just eat the cost (assuming you're Canadian selling to the US).

- KeithBrink 2y agoThis is not how tariffs work - the US company is responsible for the tariff, not the Canadian company.
- dismalaf 2y agoWell usually it's levied at the border for physical goods so the importing company (usually not the end consumer for consumer goods) eats the cost (or prices it in/passes it to the consumer). You're right though, with digital goods it's ambiguous. If the company has a US entity is that the importer? That's the scenario that popped into my (somewhat tired) head. Probably because Canada has been trying to impose taxes on US tech companies with a similar argument. If you buy a good online in a separate country, where is the transaction made?
