Canadian goods pay an extra 10% under Section 301 since July 24, 2026, unless they qualify for USMCA or are on an exemption annex.
The basics
- Rate for Canada: 10% on top of other duties.
- Start: goods entered on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern on July 24, 2026. It replaced the 10% Section 122 surcharge, which ended the same day.
- USMCA goods are exempt.
- Other exemptions are listed in the notice's annexes: some raw materials, auto parts already under Section 232, civil aircraft parts and certain pharmaceuticals.
What to do
- Check that each product qualifies under USMCA and that the certification is current. That alone removes this tariff.
- For goods that don't qualify, check your code against the exemption annexes.
- Remember it stacks with Section 338 if your code is on that list.
