Worried about AMSOIL tariffs driving up your oil bill? Here's the good news: AMSOIL's made-in-America manufacturing protects you — whether you're a U.S. customer, a Canadian buyer, or a Dealer managing a fleet.

✅ TL;DR – AMSOIL vs Tariffs

🏗️ What Are Tariffs (and Why Do They Matter)?

A tariff is a tax that governments place on imported goods. The goal is usually to:

• Protect domestic industries

• Punish certain trading partners

• Or just rake in more revenue

When you import goods from overseas — steel, electronics, or yes, oil — tariffs can hike prices up fast. That cost typically gets passed along to you, the buyer.

So what about AMSOIL?

🛠️ AMSOIL = Built in the U.S.A. = Tariff Shielded

AMSOIL produces its synthetic oils and lubricants in the United States, using high-quality base stocks and additives. That means:

• No foreign refinery dependence

• No tariff surprises on finished goods

• No price spikes every time global politics flare up

• No tariffs on finished oils

• No shipping delays due to international trade disputes

While other brands juggle pricing chaos, AMSOIL delivers stability.

🇨🇦 What About Canadian Customers?

AMSOIL Canada Pricing & Tariff Impact

Canadian customers sometimes think they're being tariffed — but it's mostly taxes and brokerage, not actual tariffs.

Here's the twist: Canadian customers do face some import-related fees — but they're not tariffs on the oil itself.

🧾 According to CBSA and recent import logs:

• Lubricants are duty-free when imported from the U.S. under USMCA

• But you'll still pay GST/HST and brokerage depending on carrier

• Branded AMSOIL merchandise may trigger small duties

• ✅ You're not being tariffed on AMSOIL — just taxed like any U.S. import.

So, If you're wondering about AMSOIL Canada pricing, the answer depends on shipping and HST — not tariffs

📉 How AMSOIL Stayed Competitive During Trade Wars

When China tariffs hit hard in 2018–2019, many brands scrambled. Some ran out of base oils, some raised prices. AMSOIL?

They planned ahead.

✅ Bulk-imported raw materials before increases

✅ Built inventory buffers

✅ Didn't raise prices like the competition

✅ Chose U.S.-based suppliers with secure sourcing

✅ Controlled logistics in-house to avoid third-party markups

And because AMSOIL controls its distribution — no middlemen — they didn't have to wait for retailers to adjust. This same approach keeps AMSOIL Canada pricing competitive today.

💰 Dealer Tip: Tariffs Don't Touch Your Margin

Whether you're in Canada or the U.S., becoming an AMSOIL Dealer adds a layer of protection:

• Buy at wholesale pricing, unaffected by suggested retail swings

• Earn commissions that offset taxes or shipping

• Bundle orders for lower cost-per-item

🔄 Why Big-Box Stores Can't Keep Up

Stores that sell imported oils? They're stuck with:

• Delayed stock from tariff backlogs

• Frequent price adjustments

• Zero flexibility to negotiate

Meanwhile, AMSOIL ships direct to you. And if you're a Dealer or Preferred Customer, you lock in your savings early.

USMCA Oil Import = No Surprise Fees

Thanks to the USMCA oil import agreement, AMSOIL enters Canada duty-free.

This treaty replaced NAFTA and prevents tariffs on qualifying American goods — including synthetic oils.

🧠 Dealers and Preferred Customers benefit even more when ordering direct.

AMSOIL vs Foreign Oil: Who Really Pays?

Big-box brands often import base oils or finished product from:

• China

• India

• The Middle East

When tariffs hit? Their prices go up.

🛡️ AMSOIL stays steady — no surprises, no bloated MSRP. That's the difference between AMSOIL vs foreign oil brands — fewer surprises, fewer fees
