Canada removed most of its broad counter-tariffs on US goods on September 1, 2025. It kept measures on steel, aluminum and cars. This was not a move to zero tariffs on all US goods.

Checked 2026-10-20. Each record says what the source can and cannot show.

What this covers

Place: Canada and the United States
Time covered: September 2025 to October 2026

What this does not prove

This describes Canada's action. It does not establish how every US tariff changed, or what a full zero-tariff offer would achieve.

Read the source

Where to look: Key takeaways: about one-quarter of the counter-tariffs reached consumer prices, adding roughly 0.3 percentage points to inflation; prices of tariffed goods rose about 6% more and returned to pre-tariff levels about three months after removal

Where to look: Current counter-tariff measures in force as of October 2026
