What’s at Stake for E-Commerce Brands?

If your brand relies on cross-border fulfillment from Mexico or Canada, the coming tariff shifts could hit your bottom line hard. Higher costs, longer shipping times, and inventory disruptions are just a few of the risks.

Many brands are unprepared, but the most strategic companies are already making moves to:

  • Push out duty payments for better cash flow.
  • Adjust inventory depletion priorities to reduce exposure.
  • Find the right 3PL and B2B warehousing partners before demand surges.

Here’s What’s Inside the Free 3-Step Rescue Plan

Step 1: Delay Customs Duties & Free Up Cash Flow

One of the fastest ways to protect your business from rising costs is to extend duty payments by 30 days—without breaking any rules.

The guide walks you through:

  • How to set up ACH payments with U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) in as little as 24 hours
  • Why delaying duty payments can give your business breathing room while you adjust your pricing and operations
  • How to work with a customs broker to get this set up for free

Step 2: Adjust Your Inventory & Pricing Before Tariffs Hit

If your inventory is stored in Mexico or Canada, you need a clear strategy to adjust pricing and prioritize stock movement. Waiting too long could mean stockouts, delivery delays, and unhappy customers.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn:

  • Which inventory to move first to avoid excessive tariffs
  • How to update your Cost of Goods Sold (CoGS) to prevent unexpected margin loss
  • The best way to analyze duty impact across your entire supply chain

Step 3: Find the Right U.S. Fulfillment Partner

As more businesses shift inventory back to the U.S., warehouse space is becoming scarce. Brands that secure the right 3PL and fulfillment partners early will be best positioned to control costs and maintain fast delivery times.

The guide includes:

  • Top recommended 3PLs for e-commerce brands
  • How to separate B2B warehousing from DTC fulfillment for better efficiency
  • What to look for in a fulfillment partner to avoid hidden costs and delays

Secure Your Supply Chain Before It’s Too Late

Trade policies are shifting, and tariffs will continue to impact supply chains—but smart e-commerce brands can stay ahead by acting now.

❌ If you wait, you risk:

  • Higher import costs eating into profits
  • Slower fulfillment leading to frustrated customers
  • Increased competition for limited warehouse space

If you take action now, you can:

  • Protect your margins with strategic duty payment delays
  • Optimize your shipping network to avoid costly disruptions
  • Keep your supply chain agile no matter what happens next
