US Customs Policy: USA Apparently Lift Tariffs on Certain Canadian Goods

The US may lift 50% tariffs on some Canadian agricultural and forestry products, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The move is intended to support Republican politicians in northern states ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Senator Susan Collins stated that nine product categories, including blueberries, potatoes, and apples, would be exempt from US tariffs.

The US and China have also agreed to trade certain non-sensitive products worth $30 billion with little or no tariffs. The US will announce details of limited trade agreements with China on Monday, according to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
