## Resource

Canada’s Border Services Agency is hitting small businesses with massive retroactive tax bills—some facing over half a million dollars—for importing golf carts from China, now classified as electric vehicles under a 17-month tariff. A six-person company since 2009 and another Ontario firm, JPSMGolf, are among those caught in the crosshairs, arguing they’re profitable but unprepared for such a financial shock. Appealing these decisions is costly and risky: pay upfront or post a bond, and if you lose, the money’s gone. Customs brokers warn this isn’t unusual with new tech, but the tariffs, meant to shield Canada’s auto industry, are now punishing small importers of gadgets like mobility scooters and power wheelchairs.
