Canada is extending a broad tariff-remission framework for certain U.S. goods by one year, to June 30, 2028, while phasing out relief earlier for some products the government says can be sourced domestically.
The Department of Finance says the extension includes non-steel goods used in mining, quarrying and oil-and-gas extraction. It also covers goods used by public education entities, including organizations with an Indigenous education mandate.
Relief ending for selected products
Tariff relief is scheduled to end December 1, 2026, for certain trailers and February 1, 2027, for certain aluminum wire, aluminum extrusions and paperboard products. The exact treatment depends on the product and the applicable remission order.
The changes are intended to preserve relief where Canadian substitutes are limited while withdrawing it where the government says domestic supply is available. Businesses should rely on the formal orders and customs guidance for their own imports.
The Department of Finance Canada published the official policy announcement on November 9, 2026.
