Animal or Vegetable Fats and Oils from Canada represent an important segment of bilateral trade, with approximately $783B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of animal or vegetable fats and oils from Canada are now subject to a 10% tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, effective February 24, 2026.

This 10% rate has a built-in expiration: Section 122 limits presidential tariff authority to 150 days, meaning the tariff expires approximately July 24, 2026 without congressional renewal.

Animal or Vegetable Fats and Oils (HTS Chapter 15) carry an average MFN duty rate of 4% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Canada.

Canada is party to the USMCA, which may provide preferential or duty-free access for qualifying animal or vegetable fats and oils. Importers should verify rules of origin requirements to take advantage of preferential rates.

Key products in HTS Chapter 15 imported from Canada include Olive oil, Palm oil, Soybean oil, Sunflower oil, Coconut oil, and Lard and tallow.
