Canada said it will begin imposing a 25% tariff on certain U.S. auto imports from Wednesday (April 9, 2025), retaliating against U.S. President Donald Trump’s levies on autos and parts imported into his country.<\/p>\n

“Canada continues to respond forcefully to all unwarranted and unreasonable tariffs,” Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a statement Tuesday on the tariffs that come into force at one minute past midnight.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the measures last week.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Canadian tariffs will apply to all vehicles imported from the United States that are not compliant with an existing North American free trade pact. <\/p>\n

That refers to cars and light trucks that are made with less than 75% North American parts — roughly 10% of all vehicles shipped from the United States to Canada, or about 67,000 vehicles annually.<\/p>\n

“The government is firmly committed to getting these US tariffs removed as soon as possible, and will protect Canada’s workers, businesses, economy and industry,” Champagne said. <\/p>\n
