Canada has expanded its list of U.S. products that will face new counter-tariffs, with the measures set to take effect on Sept. 8.
The federal government announced the changes after reviewing feedback from provinces and industry groups. Officials said the goal is to better match U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, dollar for dollar and rate for rate.
The newly added products will face a 50 per cent tariff and include wood charcoal, copper wire, printed materials, plaster products, and some glass bottles, jars, lids and other packaging containers.
Earlier this week, Ottawa removed American seafood from the tariff list after consultations with the Canadian seafood industry.
Meanwhile, federal, provincial and territorial trade ministers met in Iqaluit and agreed to work toward a new internal trade agreement by the end of fall 2026. They are also aiming to reduce barriers to labour mobility, recognize professional credentials across provinces, and make it easier to sell alcoholic beverages across Canada.
