Current list of U.S. products subject to Canada's counter tariffs effective September 8, 2026

Following the decision by the United States to impose a 50 per cent tariff on $27.6 billion of Canadian goods effective August 22, the Government of Canada announced it will match the new U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar, rate for rate, with additional Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods.

It is important to note that the list of impacted products announced on August 25, 2026 is not final. The government announced on social media on August 26 that fish and seafood was removed from the original list and replaced by other products. No list of the changes was provided. The best way to check if particular products are subject to the duties, and at what rates, is to consult the newest list. There could be more changes to come.

Effective September 8, Canada will impose the counter-tariffs of 15, 25 or 50 per cent on the listed products which was drawn from those targeted by U.S. Section 338 and Section 232 tariffs, with the rate for each product matching the corresponding U.S. rate.

Canada's counter tariffs will apply to products covering $27.6 billion in imports from the U.S. and will focus on sectors such as steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, that are most impacted by U.S. tariffs.

Goods subject to 50 per cent counter tariffs include steel and aluminum products that were previously only subject to a 25 per cent counter tariff, furniture, and clothing and apparel.

Goods subject to 25 per cent tariffs include appliances, dairy products, such as cheese, fish and seafood, and certain steel and aluminum derivative products.

Other existing counter-tariffs against the U.S., including autos, remain in place and Canada's tariff remission framework also remains available to assess requests for exceptional relief.
