Tariff-Proof Your Business: Why Smart Crafters Source Sublimation Blanks from Canada

The Looming Threat to Your Supply Chain

With ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions, tariffs on sublimation blanks could increase to 30% or higher. Here's how Canadian sourcing protects your business:

Current Tariff Impacts:

  • 25% on ceramic blanks

  • 20% on polyester textiles

  • 15% on metal substrates

Why This Matters:

  3. Reliable Supply: No sudden stock outages
