Summary of proposed countermeasures in response to U.S. Tariffs

On March 4, 2025, Canada imposed a 25% tariff on C$30 billion worth of U.S. imports in retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods (10% on energy imports and 25% on all other imports). Additionally, Canada has announced plans for a second round of tariffs totaling $125 billion on U.S. goods if the U.S. does not remove its current tariffs. 

To ensure an inclusive approach, the Canadian government is seeking feedback on the scope of these proposed measures, as detailed in Table 1 of the Notice of Intent to Impose Countermeasures in Response to United States Tariffs on Canadian Goods.
