Trade: New 50% Tax on Certain Canadian Imports
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
Small businesses that import the affected Canadian products, or that sell goods made with them, will face a 50 percent tax on top of existing duties starting August 19, 2026. Because the exact list of covered products (Annex II) was not included in the text available, the full scope of which businesses are hit is uncertain, but any company that relies on the listed Canadian goods will see costs rise sharply.
“certain products of Canada, as set forth in Annex II to this proclamation, imported into the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem duty of 50 percent”
