Tariff timeline
the policy reset in Feb 2026 matters when reading the charts- First U.S. blanket tariffs enforced.
Additional 25% on covered Canadian goods, with 10% on covered energy products. The broad CUSMA/USMCA exemption did not begin until Mar 7. Canada begins its first C$30B counter-tariff list. U.S. chronology.
- U.S. — CUSMA/USMCA exemption takes effect.
Announced Mar 6; effective Mar 7 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern. Qualifying goods entered duty-free under the agreement become exempt from the new IEEPA duties. Non-qualifying potash receives a lower 10% rate. This does not exempt goods from separate sectoral duties. Official order.
- Metals escalation.
U.S. steel and aluminum duties land; Canada responds on C$29.8B of U.S. goods.
- Autos carved out.
Both sides apply 25% duties to specified non-compliant vehicles or non-domestic content.
- U.S. — steel and aluminum duties rise to 50%.
Announced Jun 3; effective Jun 4 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern. The Section 232 rate on covered steel and aluminum increases from 25% to 50%. Derivative products follow content and classification rules; this is not a blanket rate for every manufactured product. Official proclamation.
- Canada removes most broad counter-tariffs.
Steel, aluminum and auto measures remain.
- U.S. Supreme Court invalidates IEEPA tariffs.
The legal basis for the 2025 blanket measures falls; sectoral tariffs remain a separate track.
- U.S. — new forced-labor Section 301 duties begin.
Announced Jul 23. Additional 10% on covered Canadian goods; goods entered duty-free under USMCA are exempt. Separate product and Section 232 exclusions apply. This is distinct from August’s Section 338 action, not a universal total duty. Implementation notice and exemptions.
- New U.S. Section 338 tariffs take effect.
Canada-specific duties of up to 50% target plastics, electrical machinery, furniture and wood products, among others.
- Canadian retaliation takes effect.
Announced Aug 28; effective Sep 8. Product-specific counter-tariffs of 15%, 25% and 50% cover C$27.6B in imports from the U.S., including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Exact rates follow the product lists. Canadian announcement.
- U.S. announces selected Canadian import bans.
Three proclamations exclude specified Canadian products from U.S. importation beginning 29 Sep 2026 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern. The scope includes certain dairy products, alcoholic beverages and motorcycles; exact coverage follows the annexes, not a brand’s headquarters. Sources: dairy proclamation · alcohol proclamation · motor-vehicle proclamation.
- Scheduled: import bans begin.
Future effective date as of this snapshot. Existing economic data cannot yet show the bans’ realized effects, and the announcement alone does not establish a company move. User-submitted news post.
Market access & negotiations
Import permissions, regulatory barriers and negotiated concessions · status reflects the dated evidence, not a live legal assessment
A request is not an agreement; an agreement is not implementation. Tariff reductions alone do not remove quarantine or licensing restrictions.
Methods & caveats
Scope. Federal U.S.–Canada tariff actions and visible business responses since 4 Mar 2025. This is a snapshot, not legal advice.
Causality. Trade, hiring and travel also move with currencies, commodity prices and demand. Rows say “associated with” unless a company explicitly cited tariffs.
Moves. “Confirmed” means production was reported established. “Announced” covers committed plans or reported transfers whose completion is unverified. Clear the moves-and-plans filter to include “Watch” rows for consideration or political pressure. Dates identify announcements or reports, not necessarily completion.
