Canada will impose counter-tariffs of 15% to 50% on about C$27.6 billion ($20 billion) of U.S. imports from September 8, matching new U.S. duties dollar for dollar and rate for rate across roughly 700 products while excluding energy-related measures. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne, joined by Industry Minister Melanie Joly and Jobs and Families Minister Patty Hajdu, said steel, aluminum, furniture, clothing, smartphones, cosmetics and some food products face 50% levies, with other goods at 25% or 15%, to protect Canadian industry hit by U.S. tariffs and help it compete against U.S. products at home. Existing Canadian counter-tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum double to 50%; appliances, cheese, fish, seafood and certain metals derivatives remain in the 25% band, and machinery, industrial tools and farm equipment at 15%. The package equals roughly 6% of $333.6 billion in U.S. goods exported to Canada in 2025 within $715.5 billion in two-way goods trade. Ottawa also unveiled a C$7.5 billion support package including temporary employment-insurance changes and expanded financing, as markets split between firmer U.S. metals shares and weaker farm-equipment stocks and President Donald Trump threatened steeper auto, parts and steel tariffs from January 2027.
