US EditionOttawa collects extra $617M from import duties in March as counter-tariffs hit U.S.
- In March 2025, Ottawa collected over $1 billion in customs duties, more than doubling the amount from a year earlier due to new counter-tariffs on U.S. Goods.
- The rise in revenues came after the federal government implemented countermeasures on imported U.S. Goods valued in the billions amid ongoing trade tensions, with Finance Minister Champagne describing the situation as rapidly changing.
- Canadian businesses importing U.S. Goods paid the additional costs from these counter-tariffs, which the Liberals estimated during their recent federal election campaign could raise $20 billion over 12 months.
- Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne stated the $20 billion figure was "a projection at a moment in time," emphasizing tariff changes' fast pace amid threats of further U.S. Levies.
- The tariff measures imply sustained fiscal impacts for Canada, with the government foregoing a spring budget and promising a fiscal update in fall as trade tensions persist.
