Canada's dairy tariffs reach up to 313.5%

Canada imposes high tariffs on U.S. dairy products that exceed specific import limits, but these rates are not as high as U.S. President Donald Trump claims. Current tariffs can reach up to 313.5% for products over the quota. Despite Trump's accusations of tariffs exceeding 400%, Canadian officials state that no U.S. dairy imports have faced these higher rates. The U.S. has gained increased access to the Canadian dairy market since the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) was implemented. The U.S. has filed complaints about Canada's dairy import system, arguing it restricts access. A recent ruling favored Canada, but tensions remain as Trump plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on Canadian dairy starting April 2.
