Canada Tariff Rates 2026: 10% on US Imports
As of 2026-07-24, US imports from Canada carry an effective tariff of about 10%. This combines the 10% Section 122 baseline applied to all countries, with Section 232 metals tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum charged separately. Goods qualifying under the USMCA may enter with reduced or zero base duty, though the Section 122 tariff still applies. The 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026) expired at its 150-day limit on July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10%, or 12.5% for higher-tier economies).

Canada Import Tariff Overview
Canada is the second-largest source of US imports at $421B annually, with USMCA-qualifying goods entering duty-free. Following the SCOTUS IEEPA ruling, non-compliant goods now face a 10% Section 122 tariff (effective Feb 24, 2026) on top of MFN duties, while Section 232 metals tariffs apply at 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (both on full customs value, after the April 6, 2026 restructuring).
The US-Canada trade relationship is governed by USMCA (the successor to NAFTA), which eliminates tariffs on goods meeting rules of origin requirements. Canada is a critical energy supplier, providing roughly 60% of US crude oil imports. Two-way goods trade exceeds $700B annually, making it one of the deepest bilateral trade relationships in the world.
Key Products Imported from Canada
Top imports from Canada include crude oil and petroleum products, passenger vehicles and auto parts, machinery, lumber and wood products, and natural gas. Canada is also a major supplier of aluminum, potash, and agricultural goods such as canola and beef.
Recent Changes
Feb 20, 2026: Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs 6-3; Canada's 10% rate continues under Section 122 authority (scheduled to sunset ~July 24, 2026). Section 232 tariffs on Canadian metals are 50% on articles wholly of steel/aluminum and 25% on derivative products (restructured effective April 6, 2026, both on full customs value; the 50% tier was doubled from 25% in June 2025). Approximately 89% of Canadian imports claim USMCA exemption (per Penn Wharton data). At the July 1, 2026 joint review the US declined to renew USMCA in its current form; the agreement remains fully in force with USMCA 0% preferential treatment unchanged, and non-renewal triggers annual reviews for up to 10 years — USMCA would expire July 1, 2036 only if no extension is ever agreed.
Tips for Importers
Ensure your goods qualify under USMCA rules of origin to avoid the 10% Section 122 tariff — the certification process requires documenting North American content thresholds. For steel and aluminum, consider whether your product qualifies for any exclusion under the Section 232 process. The Section 122 tariff expires ~July 24, 2026 unless Congress acts — plan inventory accordingly. FTZs near the northern border can defer or reduce duties on goods destined for re-export.
How Are US Tariffs on Canada Imports Calculated?
US import duties on goods from Canada are determined by multiple overlapping tariff authorities. The base layer is the 10% Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the expired 10% Section 122 tariff on July 24, 2026 and applies to most countries without a separate trade deal. Section 232 tariffs of 50% on steel and 50% on aluminum apply to metals imports, regardless of the Section 122 rate. Canada benefits from the USMCA, which can eliminate MFN base duties on qualifying goods — though the Section 122 tariff still applies on top of FTA preferences.
