The Canadian government officially imposed 50% retaliatory tariffs on US steel and aluminum imports, effective September 8, 2026. The countermeasures cover approximately C$27.6 billion in imports, applying double duties to over 300 US metal products and derivatives. Canada typically sources 42.9% of its steel and iron imports from the United States, meaning the trade dispute will severely inflate near-term procurement costs for regional fabricators and mining developers.
