Canada has put tariffs on American goods four times since February 2025 and taken most of them off once. Every order names, in its own text, the US measure it answers. This page goes through them in order, quotes the line that says why, and shows what each one hit.
A tariff Canada puts on US goods is called a surtax in Canadian law, and it is imposed by an Order in Council under section 53 of the Customs Tariff, the section that allows a response to another country’s trade action.1 Since 2025 there have been four such orders aimed at the United States, plus one repeal. Read side by side with the American measures, they follow one pattern:
That is the whole argument, and it is made by dates rather than adjectives. The rest of this page is the evidence.
On the afternoon of February 1, 2025 the White House signed an executive order putting 25% on most Canadian goods and 10% on energy from February 4.2 That evening the Prime Minister announced 25% on C$30 billion of US goods from the same hour, with a further C$125 billion to follow after a consultation. The United States Surtax Order (2025) was made the same weekend.9 Its stated purpose:
On February 1, 2025, the United States (U.S.) announced unwarranted tariffs on goods imported from Canada, to come into effect on February 4, 2025.9
On February 3 both sides paused for thirty days. Canada’s order was repealed before it ever collected a dollar.4,10
The pause ended and the American tariffs took effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 4, 2025. Canada’s United States Surtax Order (2025-1) took effect at the same minute: 25% on about C$30 billion of US goods, from orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits and beer to coffee, appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics and pulp and paper.1,11,3 The customs notice describes it plainly:
in response to the U.S.' imposition of tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from Canada.11
On March 12 the United States put 25% on all imported steel and aluminum under Section 232, Canada included. On March 13 Canada answered with 25% on C$29.8 billion of US goods: C$12.6 billion of steel, C$3 billion of aluminum, and C$14.2 billion of other goods including tools, computers, sporting goods and cast-iron products.16,17,18
The surtax was introduced by Canada in response to the U.S.' imposition of tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products imported into the U.S. from Canada.18
On April 3 the United States put 25% on imported cars, with CUSMA-compliant vehicles taxed only on their non-US content. On April 9 Canada applied 25% to US vehicles that do not meet CUSMA rules, and to the non-Canadian, non-Mexican content of those that do. Auto parts were left out, on purpose, to protect the shared supply chain.19,20,21
On April 3, 2025, the United States imposed global tariffs of 25% on imports of passenger vehicles and trucks.20
This is the order the United States would later name, in its July 2026 proclamation on motor vehicles, as discrimination against American commerce.15 Canada’s order calls itself a response to the American tariff of six days earlier. Both documents are linked; read them in date order.
In March the United States had exempted CUSMA-compliant Canadian goods from its tariffs, and in August it reaffirmed that exemption while raising the rate on everything else to 35%. On August 22, 2025 the Prime Minister said that with more than 85% of trade crossing the border tariff-free, Canada would match the United States by removing all of Canada’s tariffs on U.S. goods specifically covered under CUSMA
.5 The order took effect September 1: the phase-one list was repealed outright and the non-metal goods were struck from the steel and aluminum list. The Canada Gazette gives the reason:
The objective of repealing tariffs on certain consumer goods is to reaffirm the importance of CUSMA as a duty-free regime, to safeguard North America's integrated supply chains and industries, and to alleviate pressure on Canadian consumers of these imported U.S. goods.6
The tariffs on US steel, aluminum and vehicles stayed, because the American tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and vehicles stayed.6,26 That asymmetry is the clearest evidence on this page: Canada removed tariffs where the United States had removed them, and kept them where it had not.
On July 20, 2026 the United States signed three proclamations under Section 338 of its Tariff Act of 1930, adding 50% to about 554 lines of Canadian goods from August 19.15 The Prime Minister’s statement that day said Canada would respond if the tariffs took effect.30 On August 19 the start was pushed to August 22 while negotiators worked on a deal in principle; on the evening of August 21 the Prime Minister suspended the talks, saying the United States had proposed new terms that were uneconomic, unfair, and undermined the net benefits to Canada
.31,32 The 50% took effect at 12:01 a.m. on August 22.
Three days later Finance Canada announced the response: 15%, 25% and 50% on C$27.6 billion of US imports from September 8, the same dollar value the American action covers, with each product’s rate set to match the US rate on the same goods. The announcement opens with the reason:
Following the U.S. decision to impose a 50 per cent tariff on $27.6 billion of Canadian goods effective August 227
Alongside the tariffs came C$7.5 billion in support for workers and firms: extended employment insurance flexibilities, a worker retention and retraining program, a C$2 billion diversification fund and a C$1.5 billion regional response initiative.7
The order was made September 4 and took effect at 12:01 a.m. on September 8, 2026, the Tuesday after Labour Day. It has three rate schedules, 15%, 25% and 50%, and the customs notice states the design in one sentence:
The goods subject to Canada's surtax are drawn from those targeted by U.S. Section 338 and Section 232 tariffs, with the surtax applicable to each product generally corresponding to the U.S. tariff rate.8
Goods already in transit on September 8 are exempt. Where the 2026 order and the 2025 steel and aluminum order both cover a product, only the 2026 surtax applies. A companion order the same day raised the surtax on US steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% to match the American rate.33,34,8
The list is drawn from the products the United States targeted, so it reads like a mirror of the American one.35 A sample, with the Canadian rate:
The full list is on the Finance Canada page, by tariff item.35 The United States describes the same action as new retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion of U.S. exports
; the two figures are the same amount in different currencies.36
Fairness requires the other side of the argument. The White House does not describe its Section 338 tariffs as a first move. Its July 2026 fact sheet says they answer three Canadian practices: provincial liquor boards removing US alcohol, the dairy supply-management system, and the April 2025 vehicle surtax described above.15 Its September 8 fact sheet calls Canada’s response continued discriminatory treatment of crucial American exports
and announces import bans in reply.36
Two of the three practices predate 2025 by decades; the third is the vehicle order of April 9, 2025, which names the American vehicle tariff of April 3 as its reason. Whether a tariff is a response or a provocation depends on where you start the clock. The dates on this page start it on January 20, 2025; the history page starts it in 1854.
A surtax is paid by the Canadian importer and usually passed to you. American honey, plywood, hockey equipment, furniture and paper now cost more here. The Canadian makers of those same goods are the ones the American 50% is hitting from the other side. Buying from them is the one move in this whole story that a person can make at a kitchen table.
in effect on the date shownnot yetRelief and remission orders are left out here; they are on the full timeline.
