Canadian Ministers outlined the Government of Canada's response to the 25 per cent tariffs the U.S. unjustifiably imposed on all Canadian steel and aluminum products on March 12.
Following a dollar-for-dollar approach, Canada is imposing, as of 12:01 am, March 13, 2025, 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs on a list of steel products worth $12.6 billion and aluminum products worth $3 billion, as well as additional imported U.S. goods worth $14.2 billion, for a total of $29.8 billion.
The list of additional products affected by counter tariffs includes tools, computers and servers, display monitors, sport equipment, and cast-iron products.
These tariffs are in addition to Canada's 25 per cent counter tariffs on $30 billion of imports from the U.S., in response to U.S. tariffs put in place on March 4. Unless these tariffs and other unjustified U.S. tariff threats are addressed, Canada will apply counter tariffs on additional imports from the U.S. on April 2 following a public comment period.
