Canada has released a massive list of U.S. products now subject to 25 per cent tariffs in the latest escalation of a trade war between the two nations.
After the U.S. imposed 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from all countries, including Canada, on March 12, Canada immediately responded with reciprocal tariffs on nearly $30 billion worth of U.S. goods.
Canada鈥檚 tariffs cover a wide range of general U.S. imports, including aluminum products valued at $3 billion.
Minister of Finance and Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc announced the federal government鈥檚 counter tariffs will take effect Thursday, March 13.
鈥淲e will not stand by while our iconic steel and aluminum industries are being unfairly targeted,鈥� he said earlier this week.
The Government of Canada noted the new tariffs only apply to goods originating from the U.S.
The countermeasures are effective as of 12:01 a.m., March 13, and will remain in place until the U.S. eliminates its tariffs against Canadian steel and aluminum products, the federal government said in a news release.
Details on the administration of the tariffs are available on the Canada Border Services Agency .
The federal government鈥檚 latest round of retaliatory tariffs includes an array of household items from candles to tableware, sewing needles, stoves and ranges, jewelry and ceramics. Many of the newly tariffed items target industrial uses, such as building materials, railway maintenance and tooling industries.
The levies also apply to things like wristwatches, video game consoles, TV broadcast receivers, computer printers and much more.
