The official list of U.S. products that will be subject to 25 per cent tariffs when imported into Canada was announced on Sunday, less than 24 hours after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau detailed some of the product categories affected in his speech to Canadians on Saturday evening.
On Sunday afternoon the Goverment of Canada provided a detailed list that will affect $30 billion of goods starting this Tuesday with a further list provided in 21 days time affecting $125 billion worth of products.
In addition to providing the list, the federal government announced there will be a process for “requesting remission of tariffs” in situations where similar goods not imported from the United States cannot be sourced or for other case-by-case situations.
