Trade tariffs · global

What every country charges every other country, and the day it changed.

The other kind of tariff. This section is for importers, brokers and anyone whose costs move when a trade measure lands. It reads a corridor in both directions and breaks the duty into the statute behind each layer.

Canada answers Section 338 with dollar for dollar counter tariffs

Canada imposed duties of 15%, 25% and 50% across roughly 700 products worth C$27.6bn, about US$20bn, close to 4.5% of its imports from the United States. Steel, aluminium, furniture and clothing take 50%. Cheese, appliances and some seafood take 25%. Electronics and tools take 15%. A C$7.5bn support package for affected businesses accompanies the measure, on top of roughly C$25bn already provided.

The C$27.6bn Canadian figure and the roughly US$20bn of Canadian goods caught by Section 338 are close by coincidence. They are different currencies measuring different trade flows in opposite directions.

First ever use of Section 338 puts 50% on Canadian dairy, vehicles and alcohol

Three proclamations cover 554 subheadings across dairy, motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, wood, paper and hockey equipment, together about $20bn of annual imports or about 5.2% of the $382bn imported from Canada in 2025. The stated grounds are EU favourable dairy quota access, Canada's 25% retaliatory tariff on United States motor vehicles, and provincial boycotts of United States alcohol. Qualifying under USMCA does not exempt goods.

The three proclamations of 20 July 2026 set an effective date of 19 August. A further proclamation on 18 August suspended the duties for three days, moving the effective date to 12.01am ET on 22 August 2026. Much of the trade press still carries 19 August. Use 22 August.

Section 232 pharmaceutical tariff begins phasing, at 100% only for some

Annex III companies from 31 July 2026, all others from 29 September 2026. The 100% headline applies to a minority of the trade. The European Union, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are capped at 15%. The United Kingdom is tariff free for a minimum of three years. Thirteen companies holding HHS most favoured nation pricing agreements pay nothing until 20 January 2029, and an approved onshoring plan brings the rate to 20%.

Section 301 forced labour tariffs replace the expiring Section 122 surcharge

Effective 12.01am on 24 July 2026, immediately after Section 122 expired. Seventeen economies including Canada, Mexico, India and the United Kingdom pay 10% additive because they operate or have committed to a forced labour import prohibition. The European Union and Taiwan pay net of MFN to reach 10%. Japan, Korea and Switzerland are charged to a 12.5% combined rate. All other investigated economies pay 12.5% additive. China's aggregate Section 301 exposure reaches 37.5%. Goods entered duty free under USMCA are exempt, which is the opposite of the Section 338 treatment and the most common point of confusion.

Section 122 global 10% surcharge expires at its statutory limit

Section 122 carries a hard 150 day life under 19 USC 2132 and cannot be renewed by proclamation. The Court of International Trade had already invalidated it on 7 May 2026, but the government appealed and obtained a stay on 12 May, so collection continued to expiry and refunds were ordered only for three named plaintiffs. The surcharge lapsed on 24 July 2026 and was replaced the same minute by the Section 301 forced labour tariff.
