Canada's new tariffs on U.S. drop to 'nearly zero' with exemptions: Oxford Economics
'It’s a very strategic approach from a new PM to say, "We’re not going to have a retaliation,"' says Tony Stillo, Oxford’s director of Canada economics

Canada has effectively suspended almost all of its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, tamping down inflation risks and improving its growth outlook, according to Oxford Economics.
The government imposed new import taxes of 25% on about $60 billion of U.S.-made goods in March in response to the first round of tariffs from the Trump administration. Canada also retaliated against U.S. auto tariffs in early April by putting its own levies on U.S. vehicles.
But Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government then announced a six-month tariff exemption for products used in Canadian manufacturing, processing and food and beverage packaging, and for items related to health care, public safety and national security. Automakers got a break, too: companies that manufacture in Canada, such as General Motors Co., are allowed to import some vehicles into Canada tariff-free.

Those exemptions mean Canada’s tariff-rate increase on the U.S. is “nearly zero,” according to calculations by Oxford.
“It’s a very strategic approach from a new prime minister to really say, ‘We’re not going to have a retaliation,’” Tony Stillo, Oxford’s director of Canada economics, said in an interview. “It’s a strategic play on the government’s part to not damage the Canadian economy.”

Retaliatory tariffs on some U.S. goods remain, including on food items such as orange juice, alcohol and coffee, as well as clothing and cosmetics.
Carney fought and won an election last month by convincing millions of Canadian voters that he was the best candidate to handle a trade war with the U.S., which buys about three-quarters of Canada’s exports.
The prime minister said Canada will have to strengthen its own domestic economy — partly through government-backed infrastructure and housing initiatives — and seek out new trade and security alliances with other countries. But he’s also made it clear that he doesn’t necessarily endorse “dollar for dollar” retaliation, which former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he supported in “principle.”
A spokesperson for Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, whose department is responsible for administering the tariffs, did not reply to a request for comment on the Oxford report.

Oxford still sees the Canadian economy slipping into recession this year, but it upgraded its growth forecast to 0.9% for this year and 0.3% next year. Government spending should soften the blow of the trade war, the firm said. It’s forecasting that the rate of inflation will briefly rise to 3% in 2026, but should quickly ease.

加拿大對美國的新關稅因豁免而降至「幾近為零」：牛津經濟研究院
「這是新總理採取的非常策略性方法，表示『我們不會進行報復』，」牛津經濟研究院加拿大經濟主任托尼·斯蒂洛說
根據牛津經濟研究院的說法，加拿大實際上已暫停對美國產品的幾乎所有報復性關稅，降低了通脹風險並改善了其增長前景。
政府於3月針對特朗普政府的第一輪關稅，對約600億美元的美國製造商品徵收25%的新進口稅。加拿大還在4月初針對美國汽車關稅進行報復，對美國車輛徵收自己的關稅。
但馬克·卡尼總理的政府隨後宣布，對用於加拿大製造業、加工業、食品和飲料包裝的產品，以及與醫療、公共安全和國家安全相關的項目，給予六個月的關稅豁免。汽車製造商也獲得了優惠：在加拿大設廠的公司，如通用汽車公司，允許免關稅進口部分車輛到加拿大。
根據牛津的計算，這些豁免意味著加拿大對美國的關稅稅率增加「幾近為零」。
「這是新總理的一種非常策略性的方法，明確表示『我們不會進行報復』，」牛津經濟研究院加拿大經濟主任托尼·斯蒂洛在接受採訪時說。「這是政府為了不損害加拿大經濟而採取的策略性舉措。」
對某些美國商品的報復性關稅仍然存在，包括橙汁、酒精和咖啡等食品，以及服裝和化妝品。
卡尼在上個月通過說服數百萬加拿大選民他是應對與美國貿易戰的最佳候選人而贏得了選舉，美國購買了加拿大約四分之三的出口。
總理表示，加拿大必須加強自身國內經濟——部分通過政府支持的基礎設施和住房計劃——並尋求與其他國家建立新的貿易和安全聯盟。但他也明確表示，他不一定贊同前總理賈斯汀·特魯多所說的「原則上」支持「一美元對一美元」的報復。
負責管理關稅的財政部長弗朗索瓦-菲利普·尚帕涅的發言人未回應關於牛津報告的評論請求。
牛津仍預測加拿大經濟今年將陷入衰退，但將今年的增長預測上調至0.9%，明年為0.3%。該公司表示，政府支出應能緩解貿易戰的衝擊。預計通脹率將在2026年短暫上升至3%，但應很快緩解。

Canada’s finance minister said the government kept 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in US goods, disputing a report from a research firm that suggested it had paused the vast majority of those levies.
Francois-Philippe Champagne said 70 per cent of the counter-tariffs implemented by Canada in March were still in place, according to a social media post on Saturday.
The government “temporarily and publicly paused tariffs” on some items for health and public safety reasons, he said.

That 70 per cent figure implies that Canada continues to charge tariffs on about C$42 billion (US$30 billion) of US exports to Canada, excluding cars.

Champagne’s post is pushing back on a May 13 report from Oxford Economics.
The note from economists Tony Stillo and Michael Davenport said recent government exemptions to tariffs covered so many categories of products that the result was a “nearly zero” increase in Canada’s tariff rate against the US.
After the report, opposition politicians accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of not being transparent about his tariff strategy.
Carney campaigned in the recent election as the best candidate to handle the trade war, and said numerous times the government’s counter-tariffs were designed to “cause maximum pain” in the US. His Liberal Party won the April 28 vote.
US President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs against an array of Canadian and Mexican products – including cars and trucks – despite the trade deal that exists between the three countries.

Canada responded by first putting 25 per cent counter-tariffs on a list of US-made consumer goods, steel and aluminium, then adding tariffs on US-made vehicles.
But on April 15, Champagne announced a series of short-term exemptions. Companies in Canada are allowed to import items used in manufacturing, processing and food and drink packaging for six months, without paying the tariffs.
Items that are needed for public health, healthcare, public safety and national security are also exempt during that time.
Carmakers that manufacture in Canada, such as General Motors and Honda Motor, are allowed to bring in some vehicles tariff-free under a process called “performance-based remission”.
The strategy was to give the companies an incentive to keep their Canadian operations despite US tariffs.
