Canadian Government Announces Response to Tariff Response

April 3, 2025

On April 3, 2025, the Canadian Government announced that it would introduce measures in response to the tariffs introduced on Canadian automobiles. 

These measures include the following: 

  • 25% tariffs on non-CUSMA compliant fully assembled vehicles imported into Canada from the United States.
  • 25% tariffs on non-Canadian and non-Mexican content of CUSMA-compliant, fully assembled vehicles imported into Canada from the United States.

These tariffs are intended to join the already existing reciprocal tariffs, including the 25% that were introduced on steel and aluminum in early March

No implementation dates have been confirmed, but a press release has been issued with the details of the announcement, which can be found here
