Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Simple Mean: Primary Products data was reported at 3.480 % in 2022. This records a decrease from the previous number of 3.880 % for 2021. Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Simple Mean: Primary Products data is updated yearly, averaging 4.985 % from Dec 1989 (Median) to 2022, with 30 observations.

Canada CA: Tariff Rate: Applied: Simple Mean: Primary Products data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Canada – Table CA.World Bank.WDI: Trade Tariffs. Simple mean applied tariff is the unweighted average of effectively applied rates for all products subject to tariffs calculated for all traded goods. Data are classified using the Harmonized System of trade at the six- or eight-digit level. Tariff line data were matched to Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 codes to define commodity groups. Effectively applied tariff rates at the six- and eight-digit product level are averaged for products in each commodity group. When the effectively applied rate is unavailable, the most favored nation rate is used instead. To the extent possible, specific rates have been converted to their ad valorem equivalent rates and have been included in the calculation of simple mean tariffs. Primary products are commodities classified in SITC revision 3 sections 0-4 plus division 68 (nonferrous metals).;World Bank staff estimates using the World Integrated Trade Solution system, based on data from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's Trade Analysis and Information System (TRAINS) database.;;The tariff data for the European Union (EU) apply to EU Member States in alignment with the EU membership for the respective countries/economies and years. In the context of the tariff data, the EU membership for a given country/economy and year is defined for the entire year during which the country/economy was a member of the EU (irrespective of the date of accession to or withdrawal from the EU within a given year). The tariff data for the EU are, thus, applicable to Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands (EU Member State(s) since 1958), Denmark and Ireland (EU Member State(s) since 1973), the United Kingdom (EU Member State(s) from 1973 until 2020), Greece (EU Member State(s) since 1981), Spain and Portugal (EU Member State(s) since 1986), Austria, Finland, and Sweden (EU Member State(s) since 1995), Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia (EU Member State(s) since 2004), Romania and Bulgaria (EU Member State(s) since 2007), Croatia (EU Member State(s) since 2013).

According to estimates, if President Trump's proposed tariffs go into effect permanently, the United States' GDP would decrease by 0.4 percent. Of this, 0.3 percent would be from the 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, while 0.1 percent would be from the 10 percent tariff on all imports from China. As of February 10, China imposed retaliatory tariffs on the United States, with a 15 percent tariff on coal and liquid natural gas, and a 10 percent tariff on other exports, including oil, machinery, and large motor vehicles.

This statistic shows the estimated value of the retaliation limits permitted by the World Trade Organization for major trading partners of the United States should a case be brought against the United States as a result of President Trump's proposed tariff on steel and aluminum imports, as of March 2018. The retaliation limit is based on the estimated export losses due to Trump's trade tariffs. Should such a case be successful these figures show the retaliation capacity of each country as they could then impose tariffs against the United States on other products to the prescribed value without breaking World Trade Organization regulations.

It is estimated that if the case were successful, Canada would be able to impose tariffs on U.S. imports to the value of 3.2 billion U.S. dollars. This retaliation limit would be awarded to them by the World Trade Organization, allowing tariffs that would normally risk sanctions. The 3.2 billion U.S. dollar retaliation limit would be afforded to Canada in response to the expected 2 billion U.S. dollars in lost steel exports and 1.2 billion U.S. dollars in lost aluminum exports if the tariffs were to be imposed.

The statistic shows the trade balance of goods (exports minus imports of goods) in Canada from 2013 to 2023. A positive value means a trade surplus, a negative trade balance means a trade deficit. In 2023, the trade deficit of goods in Canada amounted to about 1.55 billion U.S. dollars. Trade with Canada Canada reported a trade surplus until 2009 when the country’s trade balance went negative for the first time in recent history. Its deficit was ignited at the height of the global recession, and the value of exports decreased significantly at that time. It is only now showing signs of a recovery. Meanwhile, while imports decreased during the recession as well, they bounced back faster than exports. Currently, Canada maintains neither a trade deficit nor a trade surplus as both imports and exports amount to around 475 billion U.S. dollars worth of goods. Canada is hoping this will continue and it is looking to lower tariffs on exports in order to further boost the economy and increase exports. Canada has long and strong trading relationship with the United States - Canada’s southern neighbor is without a doubt its most important export and import partner. Overall Canada maintains an export advantage over the United States; maintaining greater export flows than import flows. The U.S. dollar is also worth more than the Canadian dollar, favoring further exports from Canada. China and Mexico also import Canadian goods, but significantly less than the United States.

Americans' understanding of tariffs appears limited, with only 27 percent feeling very confident about their knowledge of the trade policy tool. This lack of awareness comes at a time when tariffs have become a significant topic in U.S. economic discussions, particularly in relation to international trade relations and domestic industry protection. Potential impact of proposed tariffs Despite the public's uncertainty, proposed tariffs could have far-reaching effects on the U.S. economy. If implemented, certain proposals could increase the average tariff rate on dutiable imports to nearly 18 percent, a substantial rise from the two percent rate in 2024. Such changes would not only affect dutiable goods but also impose taxes on previously duty-free imports, potentially leading to a sharp increase in the overall tariff burden. Estimates suggest that imposing tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China could increase federal tax revenue by approximately 106 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to 0.35 percent of the nation's GDP.

President Trump's proposals to impose universal tariffs as well as tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports would considerably increase the average tariff rate. It's estimated that, if put into effect, the average tariff rate including dutiable imports would reach almost 18 percent, up from two percent in 2024. Tariff rates are higher when dutiable imports are included because they refer only to goods that are actually subject to tariffs, rather than all imports. This skews the average tariff rate upward because it excludes duty-free goods. Trump's proposal for a universal 10 percent tariff on all imports would impose a flat tax on all imports, rather than just dutiable goods. This would result in a sharp increase in the overall tariff burden because previously duty-free goods would be taxed.
