Trump’s Canada Import Ban Threatens BRP Motorcycle Sales
The United States is stopping some Canadian-made motorcycles from being imported.
The motorcycles are made by a company called BRP.
They include the Can-Am Spyder and Canyon three-wheel models.
BRP makes them in Valcourt, Quebec.
The new rule is scheduled to begin on September 29.
This could make it harder for BRP to sell these motorcycles in the United States.
However, BRP says the effect may be small this financial year.
That is because most motorcycles for the current season have already been made and delivered.
BRP says its Can-Am Spyder and Canyon three-wheel motorcycles will lose U.S. import eligibility on Sept. 29.
The motorcycles are produced in Valcourt, Quebec.
The company told Journal de Québec that the ban would directly affect the models.
BRP expects the impact to be limited during the current fiscal year.
Most production and deliveries for the season have already been completed.
