List of current U.S. tariffs on Canada
An updated list of current U.S. tariffs on Canada
- Duties of approximately 45% on Canadian softwood lumber (10% new tariffs, 35% anti-dumping & countervailing) There was a 25% tariff on upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities looped under this section as well which was planned to be increased for January 1, 2026, but has since been delayed;
- A 25% tariff on medium and heavy duty vehicles (trucks) and 10% on busses (effective November 1, 2025);
- Increased tariffs on non-CUSMA compliant Canadian goods to 35% from 25% announced in February 2025 (effective: August 1, 2025);
- A 40% tariff on Canadian exports that are transshipped to avoid the above-stated tariffs (effective: August 1, 2025);
- A 10% tariff on non-CUSMA compliant potash and energy (effective: August 1, 2025);
- An increase to a 50% tariff on all Canadian steel and aluminum imports to the U.S. from the 25% announced in February 2025 (effective: June 3, 2025);
- A 25% tariff on automobiles and light trucks imports; for Canada, this applies to the non-US content of vehicles imported under CUSMA (effective: April 3, 2025);
- A 25% tariff on non-CUSMA compliant auto parts (effective: May 3, 2025);
- A 50% tariff on copper (effective: August 1, 2025);
Additionally, the U.S. government has eliminated de minimis treatment for low-value shipments (defined as those under $800 in value). In other words, shipments to the U.S. from Canada that are under $800 are now subject to tariffs.
On September 1, 2025, the Canadian government lifted many of its counter-tariffs noting that many Canadian exporters (with the exceptions of those related to automotive, aluminum, and steel) are able to avoid tariffs through compliance with CUSMA. Canada’s Department of Finance maintains an up-to-date list of Canadian tariffs on U.S. exports.
As of February 2026, the U.S. government remains to enact de-minimis and the Canadian government continues to enforce retaliatory tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos. In response, the Canadian government has provided relief through programs like the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, with $1 billion funding this program over 3 years from September 5 , 2025.
