US Customs Policy: US and Canada reportedly negotiating relaxation of tariffs

US and Canada are in talks to reach a trade agreement before the US congressional elections on November 3. The US government is pushing for further concessions from Canada, but a deal could see the US lift 50% tariffs on some Canadian agricultural and forestry products. Senator Susan Collins announced that nine product categories, including blueberries, potatoes, and apples, would be exempt from US tariffs.

Meanwhile, the US and China have agreed to trade certain non-sensitive products worth $30 billion with minimal or no tariffs, and have extended a trade truce that includes temporary tariff cuts and exports of rare earths.
