Ottawa Allows Businesses to Request Tariff Exemptions on Chinese Goods

  • Canadian-businesses can now apply for exemptions from tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum, particularly if they cannot source these products elsewhere.
  • The tariffs, which are as high as 100% on electric-vehicles, are aimed at countering China’s unfair trade practices and environmental standards.
  • The move mirrors similar U.S. actions and has drawn retaliation from China through a WTO complaint.
