The Aporia · Latest U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods take effect, with some changes

The United States implemented new tariffs on Tuesday affecting specific Canadian goods like outboard motorboats and metal products, imposing a 50% tariff on approximately $1 billion worth of these items. Concurrently, the U.S. removed tariffs on other Canadian imports such as cement and toilet paper, valued at around $800 million. These actions are part of an ongoing trade conflict between the two nations following failed negotiations in August where Canada did not agree to last-minute demands by the U.S., leading to previous retaliatory measures including bans on certain Canadian exports effective September 29.

Story summary

In September 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs and bans on Canadian imports as part of an escalating trade war between the two nations. The measures included a 50% tariff on goods like metal and paper products, representing about 0.6% of total U.S. imports from Canada, while lifting tariffs on items such as salt, cement, and toilet paper. Trump also banned Canadian alcoholic drinks, whey, molasses, furniture, and other products effective September 29. In retaliation for these actions, Canada imposed its own tariffs on about $20 billion worth of American goods in October. These moves have prompted China to court Canada more closely, with Prime Minister Mark Carney making state visits to China and India to diversify trade relations. The legal validity of Trump's tariff measures under Section 338 is being challenged based on the major questions doctrine, which limits executive overreach without clear statutory authorization.
