Canada's retaliatory tariffs on US goods take effect as trade talks stall
Canada has started taxing $20 billion of US goods in reply, with import duties from 15% to 50%. Steel, furniture, clothing and electronics are all hit. This dollar-for-dollar move comes as trade talks have stalled, escalating the dispute. If your business trades in these goods, expect costs to shift. Review your suppliers and prices before you commit to new orders.
