What are the current US tariffs on Canadian goods, and how should buyers respond?

US tariff rates on Canadian goods, and Canada's own countermeasures, change as trade actions are announced and adjusted, so this page does not state specific rates. As of September 25, 2026, check the Department of Finance Canada's response page and the CBSA's Customs Tariff for the current, item-by-item figures before pricing a cross-border order.

Why this page doesn't list rates

Tariff schedules on both sides of the border are amended by order and can change with little notice. A number published here would go stale, so this page explains where the current, authoritative figures live instead of repeating them.

Where to check the current rates

Department of Finance Canada publishes Canada's response to US tariffs, including any surtax orders and remission processes for affected importers. The Canada Border Services Agency's Customs Tariff lists current rates by tariff item for goods entering Canada. For US-side tariffs on Canadian exports, check the US Trade Representative's and US Customs and Border Protection's own published notices, which this site does not track.

What a Canadian buyer or supplier can do now

Confirm the tariff classification (HS code) of the specific goods, not just the general category, since rates and exemptions are set at that level. Ask a supplier or customs broker for the current landed cost, including any surtax, rather than relying on a rate seen elsewhere. If switching from a US supplier to a Canadian one to avoid tariff exposure, verify the Canadian option's own origin and lead times rather than assuming it, using the directory and how to check if a product is actually Canadian.

This is separate from “Made in Canada” labelling

A tariff classification and a “Made in Canada” claim answer different questions. A product can be tariff-exempt under a trade agreement and still not meet the Competition Bureau's 51% threshold for a “Made in Canada” label, or the reverse. See what “Made in Canada” means.

Questions courantes

Does Checked Canadian track current tariff rates?
No. This page links to the Government of Canada's own trackers, which are updated as rates change; Checked Canadian does not publish or update tariff figures itself.
Does a Checked Canadian review of a product help with tariff classification?
No. A check reviews a product line's Canadian-content claim against Competition Bureau thresholds. Tariff classification is a separate customs question; ask a licensed customs broker or the CBSA.
