The Trade Commissioner Service (TCS), alongside our partners, is working to help Canadian businesses navigate disruptions caused by the various tariffs imposed by the United States (U.S.).
- On March 4, 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs of 25% on goods imported from Canada, and 10% on energy products imported from Canada. As of March 7, 2025, a tariff exemption applies for Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)-compliant goods (i.e., goods that qualify for preferential treatment under the agreement).
- On March 12, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum products.
- On April 3, 2025, the U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian automobiles, with a 25% tariff on auto parts expected by no later than May 3. For automobiles that qualify for preferential treatment under the CUSMA (from Canada or Mexico), the 25% tariff will apply to the non-U.S. value of the vehicle.
