Diversify Your Global Trade Markets

On February 3, 2025, Canada and the United States (U.S.) agreed to postpone tariffs on each other's imported goods for 30 days. A full response from the Government of Canada can be found here.

If your company exports to the United States (U.S.), or other countries, you may be considering market diversification options to address potential tariff risks. This page offers a list of free resources for your business, including funding programs, a tariff finder database, export information, and supplier databases. For guidance on how these tools can benefit your organization or where to start, contact our team at edoinfo@markham.ca.

For explainer videos on tariffs and the impact on your business, visit the Business Development Bank of Canada, a Crown Corporation deploying initiatives to help entrepreneurs overcome these obstacles.
