Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you export to Canada or import from it, review your pricing and supply plans with your CA or trade advisor, and follow the official updates as the rounds progress. Treat the deal as still under negotiation, not final, and avoid locking in long-term commitments on the assumption it will close on schedule.
