Canada Proposes Retaliatory Tariffs on Aluminum-Containing Products from US

Canada released a list of products that could be subject to countermeasures in response to the re-imposition of U.S. tariffs on some Canadian aluminum exports. "Canada intends to impose surtaxes against imports of aluminum and aluminum-containing products from the U.S., representing a proportionate amount of Canadian aluminum products affected by the U.S. tariffs," it said.

The U.S. tariffs are due to come into force on Aug. 16. Canada is soliciting comments through Sept. 6, and says their tariffs will be in place by Sept. 16.
