Canada’s 2025 Retaliatory Tariffs (updated): Key U.S. Products Affected and Economic Impacts

Canada Imposes 25% Tariffs on U.S. Products

Effective March 4, 2025, Canada implemented significant retaliatory tariffs of 25% on selected U.S. goods, impacting trade worth approximately $30 billion annually. This move came in response to U.S. tariffs affecting Canadian exports.
