Canada responds to US Executive Orders imposing tariffs on imports originating in Canada

  • Canadian Tariffs on US Goods: Effective March 4, 2025, Canada imposed a 25% surtax on US-origin goods valued at CA$30 billion as a response to US tariffs, with a public consultation on an additional CA$125 billion worth of goods proposed until April 2, 2025.
  • US Tariffs on Canadian Imports: As of March 10, 2025, Canadian-origin imports face a 25% tariff unless they qualify for USMCA exemptions, with a 10% tariff on certain energy resources and potash. The US is also exploring reciprocal tariffs against trade partners.
  • Remission Process: Canada may grant remission from tariffs on US imports in exceptional circumstances, such as inability to source goods domestically or significant adverse economic effects. Requests for remission must be submitted to the Department of Finance with supporting documentation.
