From sunscreen to dairy, these are the U.S. goods hit by Canada’s retaliatory tariffs

As the trade war between Canada and the United States intensifies, Canada has introduced retaliatory tariff measures targeting various U.S. goods. The new levies aim to hit sectors most affected by the Trump administration's tariffs. Here is an overview of the affected products and the corresponding tariff rates:

Dairy products such as milk, cream, whey, cheese, and seafood like salmon, halibut, and lobster face a 50 per cent tariff, regardless of whether imports are below or above quota rates. Fresh cheese and curd, including Camembert, brie, blue cheese, and cheddar varieties, are also subject to this tariff. Seafood tariffs were initially planned at 25 per cent but were later withdrawn following feedback from fishing sectors.

Forestry and wood products, including softwoods like pine, fir, and spruce, face a 25 per cent tariff. Plywood, veneered panels, sanitary products like toilet paper and facial tissues, paper and paperboard, wooden furniture, and wooden charcoal receive 50 per cent tariffs. Steel, aluminum, and copper products, such as rods, bars, sheets, wires, and foil, now carry a 50 per cent tariff.

Sunscreen, skincare products, clothing, textiles, smartphones, golf clubs, video game consoles, and various household appliances are also impacted, with rates ranging from 25 to 50 per cent.

The tariff measures reflect Canada's response to the U.S. trade war initiated by President Trump, who threatened to raise tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum, and vehicles starting in 2027.
