About BannedInTheUSA.ca
Turning a trade fight into something positive.
BannedInTheUSA.ca started with a simple idea.
Canadian companies are getting caught in a trade dispute they didn't create. When Canadian products are shut out of a major export market or hit with new trade barriers, we'd rather see Canadians respond by discovering those companies, buying their products and helping build stronger markets for them here at home.
Canadians want to support Canadian businesses. The problem is that it isn't always easy to know which companies are Canadian, what they make or where to buy from them.
BannedInTheUSA.ca is being built to make that easier.
We find Canadian companies and products affected by U.S. trade actions, explain what's happened, and connect Canadian shoppers directly with the businesses behind them.
What We Believe
Support Canadian
When Canadian businesses face barriers abroad, we can create opportunities for them here at home.
Get the facts right
Banned isn't the same as tariffed. We distinguish between different U.S. trade actions and review trade status before assigning it to individual products.
Connect shoppers with companies
We help Canadians discover products here, then send them directly to the Canadian businesses that make and sell them.
Independent & Canadian-Focused
Built for Canadian discovery.
BannedInTheUSA.ca is an independent Canadian-focused shopping and discovery platform. Companies do not pay to be listed. In some cases, we may earn an affiliate or referral commission when a shopper follows one of our links and makes a purchase, at no additional cost to the shopper.
