Here’s a list of the U.S. tariffs still hammering Canadian industries

The U.S. enforces tariffs up to 50% on Canadian steel, aluminum, and copper imports under national security claims, with exemptions under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement.

  • On Oct. 8, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney met U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington to press for easing a growing list of tariffs hammering Canadian industries.
  • Using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and Section 232, the administration imposed economywide fentanyl tariffs and 25 per cent tariffs on steel, aluminum and automobiles.
  • Steel and aluminum duties were significantly increased, reshaping costs for producers and buyers as steel and aluminum tariffs rose to 50 per cent.
  • Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the administration delayed actions to negotiate with drugmakers, and last month announced a deal with Pfizer; President Donald Trump also threatened a 25 per cent tariff on medium and heavy-duty trucks for Nov. 1, but no executive order has been signed.
  • Expanded investigations and additional threatened tariffs position many industries at risk as the president instructed Commerce Department investigations covering aircraft, semiconductors, and wind turbines, while American states and businesses have challenged the tariffs in court with the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral arguments in November.
