Canada has introduced new tariffs on vehicle imports as part of its commitment to maintaining fair and balanced trade relationships. This strategic move reinforces the country’s dedication to protecting its vital automotive sector while preserving the strength of its cross-border supply chain.
As one of Canada’s largest export industries, the automotive sector supports over 125,000 direct jobs and nearly half a million more in related fields. Recognizing the importance of integrated manufacturing between North American partners, officials ensured that auto parts—frequently exchanged during production—remain exempt from new tariffs to avoid supply chain disruptions.
To further bolster the sector, Canada has rolled out a CA$2 billion strategic response fund aimed at sustaining jobs, encouraging innovation, and strengthening export resilience.
These efforts underscore Canada’s focus on maintaining robust, rules-based trade while working collaboratively with international partners to promote shared growth and economic stability.
