Effective 12:01 a.m. ET on April 9, 2025, the Canadian government imposed a tariff of 25% on all fully assembled vehicles imported into Canada from the United States that do not qualify for duty exemption under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The tariff will not be applied to goods documented to be in transit at the time the tariff took effect.
Similarly, a 25% tariff will be levied against all non-Canadian and non-Mexican content of vehicles that do qualify for duty exemption under the USMCA. In instances where documentation is not available to identify the percentage value of U.S.-originating content versus non-U.S. originating content, the tariff will apply to 85% of the declared value of the vehicle.
CBSA will accept applications for corrections or adjustments, where applicable. For additional information on applicability and other details related to this action, please refer to the Customs Notice and the full list of affected HTS codes.
These tariffs are being imposed in response to tariffs implemented by the United States against Canada-origin vehicles, effective April 3, 2025.
Note, these new Canadian tariffs are applied only to fully assembled vehicles, not to individual auto parts.
