Cosmetics and personal care vendors on platforms like Amazon and Walmart are relocating inventory to Canada to defer U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, which can reach up to 145%. By storing goods in Canadian warehouses, brands benefit from tariff exemptions, duty relief, and potential rebates while hoping for a softening of U.S. trade policies. This strategy, though adding $500–$600 per container in costs, is seen as preferable to immediate tariff payments. Logistics firms report a 50% increase in China-to-Canada shipments. With limited U.S. bonded warehouse space and slow global supply chain adjustments, stockpiling in Canada provides a temporary solution for brands anticipating high-demand periods like the holiday season.
