About WestCoastCraft

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:
A 5,000orderfromChinanowcostsU.S.buyers:✓6,250 after tariffs
✓ Plus $300+ in customs fees
✓ Plus 3-4 week delays

The Canadian Solution:

  1. No Blank-Specific Tariffs: Our trade agreements differ

  2. Stable Pricing: We've maintained the same mug prices for 18 months

  3. Reliable Supply: No sudden stock outages

What Buyers Are Saying:
"I watched competitors struggle with U.S. shortages while my Craftera grew 22% last year." - Lisa, Home Decor Seller
