The Canadian government has released the final list of Chinese steel products that will be subject to a 25% tariff. This includes over 160 items, including G/K and H/K rolls, coated sheets, and pipes, and Canada supports the trade policies previously announced by the United States. The Canadian tariffs will take effect on October 22nd.
However, Canadian authorities are establishing a system that allows consumers to request exemptions for certain products in certain circumstances, rather than imposing tariffs on them. The Canadian Steel Manufacturers Association welcomes the implementation of the new tariffs, emphasizing the strategic importance of the steel industry to the national economy.
