Full List of US Tariffs Hitting Canada as Carney Vows Dollar-for-Dollar Response

Trade talks between Canada and the U.S. failed to produce an agreement preventing new tariffs, sparking renewed tension between the allies. The two governments had been working toward a deal avoiding 50 percent duties on Canadian goods, but disagreements over cars, alcohol and other U.S. demands derailed it. Tariffs imposed under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, permitting duties up to 50 percent on imports to offset foreign discrimination against U.S. commerce. 50 percent duties now apply to hundreds of Canadian products worth roughly $20 billion, targeting motor vehicles, alcohol, and dairy. The announcements also cover seeds, bakery mixes, textiles, cosmetics, furniture, electronics, diamonds, and toys — on top of existing steel, aluminum and lumber tariffs. No USMCA exemptions, though energy, potash, fish, critical minerals and Section 232 items are exempt. The duties affect about five percent of the $382 billion in goods the U.S. imported from Canada last year. Carney (Friday): "last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal." Carney: "We have recognized from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship." Carney accused the U.S. of using "economic integration as a weapon" and said, "We cannot accept what they have offered, and we will not give what they have asked." Ontario Premier Doug Ford (on X): "The prime minister has my full support for a strong response—tariff for tariff, dollar for dollar." The U.S. side called the breakdown "a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States." Carney announced reciprocal "dollar for dollar" tariffs taking effect September 8, targeting U.S. steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, plus support measures for affected Canadian workers and industries. USTR Jamieson Greer said no further talks are planned.
