Threatened 50% tariffs on Canadian autos and steel — January 1, 2027 target

Threatened

This threatened measure is unconfirmed. Its target date is conditional.

Baseline 25% on non-U.S. auto content (current); 50% steel (current)
Products Automobiles, auto parts and steel (political threat; final scope not established)
Target date Jan 1, 2027
CUSMA Treatment under any future action has not been established by an enacted instrument.

August 24 reporting records a January 1, 2027 target. This remains a conditional threat, not a confirmed new tariff schedule. Current steel primary duties are already 50%; no universal new aluminum increase is established by this report.

Scheduled
Rate 30% upholstered wooden furniture; 50% kitchen cabinets and vanities
Baseline 25%
Products Covered upholstered wooden furniture; kitchen cabinets and vanities

Exemptions Product scope and applicable agreement exceptions remain defined by the underlying proclamation.
CUSMA No blanket CUSMA exemption under this proclamation.

— 50% duties on selected Canadian products

In Force
Rate 50%
Baseline Various (0% to 25%)
Products Products covered by the current Section 338 annexes, including specified dairy, vehicles, furniture and other goods; selected alcohol, dairy/sweetener and motorcycle goods are now banned separately
Effective Aug 22, 2026
Exemptions Use the amended annexes. September 15 scope changes removed some products and changed stacking; the original Section 232 exclusion is not a blanket current exemption.
CUSMA Covered goods are subject to Section 338 regardless of CUSMA origin. The September motor-vehicle amendment expressly permits stacking with Section 232.

July 20 proclamations originally set August 19 commencement, paused until August 22. September 8 proclamations changed coverage from September 15 and banned selected imports from September 29. Cement and rock salt were removed from tariff coverage. Pre-ban imports can have different warehouse treatment.

Tariff — Forced Labor Enforcement (10%)

In Force
Rate 10%
Baseline 0%
Products All Canadian goods not entered under USMCA preference
Effective Jul 24, 2026
Exemptions CUSMA-qualifying Canadian goods, specified energy/raw materials and goods subject to Section 232 are excluded under the final action.
CUSMA USMCA-compliant goods exempt

Final action announced July 23, effective July 24, 2026; Canada's listed rate is 10%. Earlier investigation or proposal dates are not the final-action date. Applicable other duties may remain, but the expired Section 122 surcharge must not be stacked into current totals.

Section 122 — temporary 10% import surcharge (expired July 24, 2026)

Removed
Rate 10%
Baseline 0%
Products All Canadian goods not qualifying for preferential treatment
Effective Feb 24, 2026
Exemptions CUSMA-qualifying goods, products covered by Section 232 and specified energy/mineral and other annex categories were exempt.
CUSMA Replaces IEEPA tariffs after Supreme Court ruling. CUSMA compliance is the dividing line.

Effective February 24 through July 24, 2026 under the 150-day Section 122 authority. Its statutory period ended; the July 24 Section 301 action is a separate measure. This surcharge must not be included in current tariff totals.

tariffs on timber, lumber, wooden furniture and cabinets

In Force
Rate 10% timber/lumber; 25% covered upholstered wooden furniture, kitchen cabinets and vanities
Baseline 0%
Products Softwood timber and lumber; covered upholstered wooden furniture; kitchen cabinets and vanities
Effective Oct 14, 2025
Exemptions Scope and applicable exceptions are defined by the proclamation's annexes; partner-specific agreements do not establish a blanket Canadian exemption.
CUSMA CUSMA does not override Section 232

Current duties began October 14, 2025. The furniture/cabinet increases were postponed from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027 by the December 31 amendment and are tracked separately as scheduled. Softwood CVD/AD duties are a distinct layer.

Softwood Lumber — 2025 Rate Increase to 35.16%

In Force
Rate 35.16% combined for reviewed non-selected producers (CVD 14.63% + AD 20.53%)
Baseline 14.40% combined (amended 2024 review)
Products Softwood lumber
Effective Aug 12, 2025
Exemptions Producer-specific rates: Canfor 47.59%, West Fraser 26.47%; 35.16% is the reviewed non-selected-company reference.
CUSMA Not covered by CUSMA — subject to separate bilateral dispute

September 11 amended AD results apply retroactively to July 29; the combined reference uses the CVD rate published August 12. BC's summary describes September 11 as effective. AR7's June 2026 post-preliminary reference was 25.18%, not a final enacted rate. No later final result was verified in this audit.

— 25% tariffs on passenger vehicles, light trucks and covered parts

In Force
Rate 25%; approved CUSMA vehicles assessed on non-U.S. content
Baseline 0% (CUSMA-compliant) / 2.5% (non-compliant)
Products Passenger vehicles, light trucks and specified automobile parts
Effective Apr 3, 2025
Exemptions Qualifying CUSMA parts have a separate exemption pending implementation of the non-U.S.-content collection process; this is not a blanket exemption for vehicles.
CUSMA Approved CUSMA vehicles: duty on non-U.S. content. Non-qualifying vehicles: duty on full value.

Vehicle duties began April 3, 2025; covered parts began May 3. March 26 is the proclamation date. Non-U.S. content is different from non-CUSMA content. Rates are not a statement that every vehicle or part owes an identical effective duty.

tariffs on steel, aluminum and covered derivatives

In Force
Rate 50% on primary articles; 25% on covered derivatives; temporary reduced rates for specified equipment
Baseline 0% (Canada was exempted 2019–2025)
Products Steel, aluminum, and derivative products
Effective Mar 12, 2025
Exemptions Annex-specific exclusions, U.S.-metal-content reductions, qualifying equipment relief and approved investment-program concessions apply; no blanket Canadian exemption.
CUSMA CUSMA does not generally remove Section 232 duties. Certain Annex I-C equipment from Canada can use 25% on non-U.S. content, with a 15% total-duty floor, through December 31, 2027.

March 12, 2025 is the regime's commencement, not the current rate-change date. Primary rates rose to 50% June 4, 2025. April 6, 2026 introduced full-customs-value assessment and revised annex rates; June 8 adjusted equipment relief. July 20 authorized an approved primary-aluminum investment concession. Product classification determines treatment.

Tariff on Canadian Goods (Struck Down)

Removed
Rate Historical: 25%, then 35% from August 1, 2025; energy had separate 10% treatment
Baseline 0%
Products All Canadian goods (25% general, 10% energy/potash)
Effective Mar 4, 2025
Exemptions CUSMA-compliant goods were later exempted (March 6, 2025)
CUSMA CUSMA-compliant goods exempted after initial implementation

The planned February 4, 2025 start was postponed until March 4. The general Canadian rate rose to 35% on August 1, not in March. The February 20, 2026 order ended the IEEPA tariff actions; CBP stopped collection February 24. Refund eligibility and procedures require separate verification.

Softwood lumber — 2024 historical baseline

Baseline
Rate 14.40% combined for reviewed non-selected producers (CVD 6.74% + AD 7.66%)
Products Softwood lumber
Effective Aug 19, 2024
Exemptions Producer-specific rates apply; the combined reference rate is not universal.
CUSMA Not covered by CUSMA — subject to separate bilateral dispute

Historical 2024 reference, superseded by the 2025 reviews. September 24 amended results corrected the earlier 14.54% reference retroactively to August 19, 2024; these are not the original 2017 duty dates.

Joint Review — U.S. Declines to Extend

Under Negotiation
Products All goods covered by CUSMA/USMCA
Announced Jul 1, 2026
CUSMA CUSMA remains in force; the United States did not confirm an extension at the July 2026 review.

USTR's July 1 statement did not confirm renewal. Review negotiations are not an effective date for withdrawing current preferential treatment. No new enactment or termination date is established by this statement.

Canadian Response

Pacific Link — national-interest designation and federal review

Diversification

On October 1, 2026, Canada designated the proposed Pacific Link oil pipeline a national-interest project to advance federal review and overseas market access.

Announced Oct 1, 2026
Effective Oct 1, 2026
Status In Force

The designation and review process are in effect; the pipeline is not operating. September 1, 2027 is the stated objective for finalizing project conditions, not a confirmed construction or export commencement date.

Canadian Response

Retaliatory Tariffs on $27.6B of U.S. Goods (September 2026)

Retaliation

Canada's September 8, 2026 countermeasures apply product-specific 15%, 25% and 50% rates to the published U.S. goods list, with announced trade coverage of C$27.6 billion.

Announced Aug 25, 2026
Effective Sep 8, 2026
Status In Force

Announced August 25 and effective September 8. The published tariff items determine coverage and rates, including amended metal counter-tariffs. This is not a universal matching rate for every Canadian and U.S. product.

Canadian Response

Canada-U.S. Trade Talks Paused

Negotiation

Canada suspended the sectoral trade negotiations in August 2026 after the United States introduced new terms Canada considered unacceptable.

Announced Aug 21, 2026
Status Suspended

August 21 is the suspension event date, not an April 2025 policy commencement. Finance's August 25 announcement confirms the suspension. No confirmed restart date was established in this audit; suspended status remains.

Canadian Response

challenges to the 2025 softwood lumber duty reviews

Legal

Canada filed CUSMA challenges to the sixth administrative review's softwood lumber duty results on August 28 and September 11, 2025.

Announced Aug 28, 2025
Status In Force

Verified filing history; current case disposition was not independently established. AR7's 2026 preliminary rate proposals are not final duties and are distinct from AR8. This legal-response record is not a tariff exemption.

Canadian Response

Canada's 25% counter-tariffs on U.S. automobiles

Retaliation

From April 9, 2025, Canada imposed 25% duties on non- U.S. automobiles and on the non-Canadian, non-Mexican content of qualifying U.S. automobiles. Product-specific remission arrangements apply.

Announced Apr 3, 2025
Effective Apr 9, 2025
Status In Force

Separate from the March 13 goods package. Check current remission eligibility rather than assuming every vehicle pays the same effective rate.

Canadian Response

March 2025 counter-tariffs — steel/aluminum retained and later amended

Retaliation

Canada's March 13 package covered C$29.8 billion in U.S. steel, aluminum and other goods. The other-goods tranche was removed September 1, 2025; retained metal duties were further amended in September 2026.

Announced Mar 12, 2025
Effective Mar 13, 2025
Status Modified

March 12 announcement; March 13 commencement. Do not combine this with the separate March 4 C$30 billion package or April 9 auto counter-tariffs. Modified status preserves the partial withdrawal; current September 2026 rates are tracked in that later package.

Canadian Response

Energy Export Diversification (TMX Expansion)

Diversification

The Trans Mountain Expansion began commercial operations May 1, 2024, increasing system capacity from roughly 300,000 to 890,000 barrels a day and enabling additional overseas export routes.

Announced May 1, 2024
Effective May 1, 2024
Status In Force

Historic operating infrastructure, not a newly announced 2026 project. CER's September 2025 snapshot documents subsequent overseas exports; it does not substantiate the stored November 2025 export figure, price uplift or 2027 utilization forecast.

Canadian Response

Agriculture trade-disruption support — multiple programs

Subsidy

Canada's agriculture trade-response support includes FCC's trade-disruption lending and exporter programs. The enhanced 90% AgriStability compensation and C$6 million cap applied to the 2025 program year.

Status In Force

There is no single verified March 1, 2025 start for this collection. Program-specific dates and eligibility apply. Budget 2025 provided C$75 million over five years from 2026–27 for AgriMarketing; the stored C$639 million total was not substantiated. Consult current AAFC program guidance.
