Canada to Implement 25% Tariffs on U.S. Imports Beginning March 2025

The Canadian government will impose 25% tariffs on certain goods imported from the United States, starting March 4, 2025, covering $30 billion in trade. The affected goods include orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee, appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics, and specific pulp and paper products, as stated in a government press release.

These tariffs are applicable exclusively to goods originating from the U.S., with exemptions for products already in transit to Canada by the enforcement date. The Canada Border Services Agency website provides extensive details on the tariff administration and processes involved.

The imposition of these tariffs follows the introduction of American tariffs that Canadian officials attribute as the cause for this action. Statements from the press release outline these justifications, emphasizing the governmental perspective on U.S. fiscal policies.
