The measure applies to imports from all countries and is assessed on the full value of the covered products, signaling a broad-based approach to trade enforcement rather than a country-specific action.
Importers, manufacturers, and downstream users of steel derivative products should closely review the affected product list and evaluate potential cost increases, supply chain disruptions, and compliance obligations. Companies may need to reassess sourcing strategies, update customs classifications and valuations, and prepare for the financial impact of the new tariffs as Canadian customs authorities begin enforcement at year end.
