September 8, 2026- Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods took effect on Tuesday, Sept. 8 amid rising tensions between the U.S. and Canada, according to ABC News. The duties range from 15% to 50% across hundreds of U.S. products worth a total $27.6 billion, including dairy, agricultural equipment, paper, household appliances and electronics, per CNBC. Canadian tariffs on U.S. steel, aluminum and iron products doubled to 50%, while furniture, motorbikes, clothing and some beauty products were among the goods hit with the highest rate. Officials in Canada have vowed to match the U.S. levies “dollar for dollar,” per CBS News.
The levies were imposed in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian milk, honey, hockey sticks, alcoholic beverages, plywood, down feathers, jewelry and other goods.
