CBSA Alerts Returnees to Tariffs on Specific U.S. Products

Canadian residents returning from extended stays in the United States are advised to be aware of tariffs that apply to certain American-made goods brought into Canada. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced that a surtax of 25% is applicable on a range of U.S. products. This action is taken in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods.

The CBSA is tasked with collecting these tariffs on behalf of the Government of Canada. Travellers returning to Canada should verify if the goods they are bringing back fall under the list of affected items to ensure compliance with these regulations.

These measures reflect ongoing trade negotiations and tariff actions between Canada and the United States. The CBSA provides guidance on which goods are subject to the surtax and advises Canadian residents to plan their return accordingly.
