TARIFF FAQ
**Answer**
No. All Control GMC machines are designed and manufactured in Canada and therefore enter the United States duty-free under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA).
**Answer**
Our **No Surprise Tariff Protection Clause** guarantees that the price on your signed Purchase Order will not change.
If new or higher U.S. federal import duties are introduced before delivery, Control GMC will absorb 100 % of the additional cost.
**Answer**
For Canadian-origin equipment shipped to the United States, the quoted price assumes a 0 % duty rate under USMCA.
If any new or increased U.S. import duties (“Additional Tariffs”) are imposed after the Buyer’s Purchase Order Date but before delivery, Control GMC will pay those duties in full.
**Result:** the invoice total remains exactly as quoted—no surprises.
**Answer**
No. Current pricing reflects normal production costs only; we do **not** add a premium for hypothetical tariff risk.
**Answer**
We manage the risk so you don’t have to by:
• Leveraging federal support programs announced by the Government of Canada
• Implementing internal cost-reduction measures
• Using financial hedging where appropriate
**Answer**
1. You place a Purchase Order and lock in your price.
2. If U.S. Customs later applies a new duty rate, Control GMC pays those duties directly (or credits you if you pre-pay at the border).
3. Your invoice stays exactly as stated—no extra line items.
**Answer**
U.S. customers told us tariff uncertainty was delaying capital-equipment decisions. The clause removes that uncertainty and lets you proceed with confidence.
**Answer**
The price you receive already reflects the full value of the machine and our commitment to stand behind it.
The No Surprise Clause is provided at no additional charge, but it does not create a rebate if duties remain at 0 %.
**Answer**
Yes. Canadian-origin spare parts enjoy the same 0 % duty rate today and the same No Surprise protection if duties change.
**Answer**
No. The clause covers import duties only on Canadian-origin goods. Parts sourced outside Canada follow their own tariff rules, which we always quote transparently.
**Answer**
Services are not subject to U.S. import duties, so the clause does not apply. Service pricing remains exactly as quoted.
**Answer**
Yes. Control GMC is a true OEM: engineering, machining, assembly, and testing all take place at our facility in Québec, Canada.
Every machine and proprietary spare part meets USMCA rules of origin and currently enters the United States at a 0 % tariff rate.
