Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on $20bn of US goods take effect
Trade tensions soar as Canada matches US tariffs 'dollar-for-dollar', impacting 700 products and multiple industries.
On Tuesday, Canada announced retaliatory tariff measures in response to the ongoing trade war with the United States. The new tariffs target various goods that were previously affected by the Trump administration's tariffs.
Canada imposed a 50% tariff on a variety of American dairy products, including milk, cream, whey, several milk and whey protein products, fresh cheese, curd, and numerous types of cheese such as Camembert, brie, blue cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, Gruyère, Havarti, and Parmesan. Additionally, tariffs apply to toilet paper, facial tissue, napkins, paper, paperboard, envelopes, corrugated boxes, and wooden furniture.
Steel and aluminum products, such as steel rods, bars, sheets, prefabricated items like bridges and door frames, aluminum wires, bars, rods, and foil, are also subject to a 50% tariff. Furthermore, a 50% tariff has been applied to various types of plastics, including plastic wall and ceiling coverings, bags, packaging, tableware, and kitchenware, as well as air conditioners.
