Reshoring a program to Canada, or sourcing north of the border as a U.S. buyer, hinges on more than capability. It depends on whether a shop can move parts across the border cleanly. Made to Spec routes only to Canadian shops that are cross-border ready: CUSMA-qualified, experienced with U.S. customs documentation, and able to arrange freight.

Send one RFQ with cross-border as a hard requirement and we match you only to shops that ship to the U.S., then come back with quotes. It is free for buyers, with no account needed.

What "cross-border ready" means

A cross-border-ready shop routinely ships to U.S. customers, understands CUSMA rules-of-origin documentation, and can arrange freight and customs brokerage. Many sit on the Windsor-Detroit corridor, minutes from the busiest commercial crossing on the continent.

CUSMA in short

Under CUSMA (in force July 1, 2020), qualifying machined and fabricated goods move tariff-free between Canada and the U.S. on correct rules-of-origin documentation. The 2025 tariff turmoil made a CUSMA-qualifying Canadian source a hedge, not an exotic move.
