"NAFTA" - North American Free Trade Agreement

How a US company can save you thousands when it's time to build.

Preface

Tariffs, duties and import fees are imposed by Congress and the US federal government to protect US lumber companies against lower prices from Canadian producers and suppliers. Today, these tariffs, duties and border fees add 31% or more to the costs of lumber, plywood and other building products purchased in the US by US consumers. State, county and city sales taxes add another 8% or more.

Recent news reports about higher tariffs or import duties on lumber, wood products and other building materials means higher prices for products purchased here in the US... but not for our "complete home packages" which include lumber and building materials that come from our own mills and production facilities in British Columbia, Canada.

Background

First, it is a recognized fact that the quality of lumber and wood products from Canada is simply the best available. It is also far less costly to produce. But when US and state tariffs, duties, sales taxes and import fees are added, the prices you pay at your local lumber store or building supply center go up.

Lower Prices under "NAFTA"

When shipped separately to lumber yards and building supply centers in the US like Home Depot, Lowes, etc., products like lumber and plywood are treated as "commodities." And because Canadian prices are so much lower, US lumber companies lobbied congress and the government for price protection in the form of tariffs, duties and import fees on "commodities" to keep US and world prices up... to avoid being undersold by high-quality, lower-cost producers in Canada.

But under "NAFTA"... the North American Free Trade Agreement... a US company can ship complete home packages of lumber and building materials... from its own mills and production facilities in Canada... directly to US customers who pay no tariffs, no duties, no import fees and no city, state or county sales taxes.

We are a US company and our Cabin Kits are complete home packages from our own mills and suppliers in Canada. Everything you need... "from the top of the foundation to the top of the roof"... is included as part of a complete exterior shell package for your home or cabin.
