Impact of Tariffs on Archery in Canada

Due to recent trade developments between the United States and Canada, we have made the difficult decision to pause all orders of American-made goods. The newly imposed 25% tariff is having a substantial effect on the Canadian archery industry, making it challenging to import products from U.S. manufacturers.

As a result, we will be increasing our reliance on brands from Canada, Europe, and Asia. Many Canadian distributors have also had to suspend shipments from the U.S. for the time being. Notably, brands like Easton and Hoyt, which have long-established distribution agreements within Canada, are among those affected by these restrictions.

At Canada Archery, we are committed to offering the most competitive prices allowed by manufacturers. When factoring in currency exchange and shipping, our prices are often more affordable than those of American retailers. We will make every effort to prevent price increases due to tariffs, but external factors may impact costs over time.

If the trade dispute continues in the long term, it may result in a complete shift away from American-made products. Additionally, importing from Europe, Asia, and Australia often involves longer shipping times due to reliance on sea freight, which could lead to extended wait times for certain items.

Any price adjustments resulting from tariffs, rather than routine manufacturer price changes, will be removed immediately if and when tariffs are lifted.

Special orders on our website for most items impacted by tariffs have been disabled. If you are able submit an order for a product labeled "Special Order", it is likely not impacted by increased fees. 

For customers interested in special ordering American-made products that are not currently in stock, please reach out to us at help@canadaarcheryonline.com. Tariff-related fees may apply, and we want to ensure full transparency to avoid any unexpected costs.

All special orders of American made products placed prior to March 14 at 2:30 PM EST will be honoured without tariff related price increases.

We sincerely appreciate the ongoing support of the Canadian archery community. Given the strong presence of American brands in the industry, these trade challenges could have a significant impact on the sport within Canada. We remain committed to serving our customers and adapting to these evolving circumstances.

Sincerely, 

Canada Archery Team
