![HVAC Trade Groups Push for Tariff Relief Under USMCA](https://storage.ghost.io/c/10/b4/10b4e534-6c6b-4f4b-b478-e8bbc462d032/content/images/2026/10/post-image-1792505143.png)

Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International, along with AHRI, ACCA, and PHCC, sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on September 2\. The groups urged protection of USMCA benefits and requested tariff relief for HVACR equipment. They said 1.9 million workers across the industry depend on the trade agreement.

Equipment costs could rise if current trade protections are weakened. Tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada would also drive up costs.

Monitor your equipment suppliers for potential price increases tied to trade policy changes. Consider discussing lead times for upcoming orders.

**Key Takeaways:**

- Four major HVAC trade groups jointly requested tariff relief on equipment
- 1.9 million HVACR workers benefit from USMCA protections
- Trade policy shifts could disrupt supply chains and increase contractor costs
