Canada is retaliating with tariffs on specific U.S. goods. Here’s what it covers.

On Tuesday, Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on specific U.S. goods, escalating the trade war between the two nations. The new levies will take effect on September 8.

Targeted sectors include dairy products, seafood, wood products, paper and paperboard, wood charcoal, steel and aluminum, copper wire, steel and aluminum, plastic wall and ceiling coverings, and plastic products.

Dairy products like milk, cream, cheese, cured cheese, seafood such as salmon, shrimp, and lobster, wood products like softwood and plywood, paper and paperboard, wooden furniture, and handwoven rugs are all subject to a 50 per cent tariff, while items like steel rods, aluminum products, and smartphones will face a 50 per cent levy, rising to a 25 per cent rate for clothing items.
