Canada Tariff Impact Checker

Screen Your HS Codes Against Canada's Counter-Tariffs on U.S. Goods
Built for anyone importing into Canada from the U.S. who needs a fast read on counter-tariff exposure. Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods are applied at the tariff item level, so your HS classification determines your rate, not the product description. Drop in your codes and the tool cross-references them against Canada's counter-tariff schedule. For anything that matches, you get the rate band, the effective date, and the rate before and after.
How it works

Getting a result

Select your country of origin
Origin determines what falls within scope under Canada’s marking rules.
Paste your HS codes
One per line, or separated by commas. Up to 10 codes without an account.
Run the check
See which codes are flagged, which aren’t, and the rate band for each match.

What comes back

Every match includes a plain-language description, the rate band, the effective date, and the rate shift, where available. Nothing gets silently dropped; codes with no match still appear in your results, so you can confirm they were actually checked.

This tool answers one question: whether this code is subject to Canada's counter-tariffs and, if so, at what rate. For total landed cost, that is what the Duty & Tax Calculator is for. If you want a second opinion on whether a code is classified correctly to begin with, the HS Lookup Tool handles that.

Checking the other direction? The Tariff Impact Checker covers U.S. Section 301, 232 and 338 measures on goods entering the United States.

How it works

What Canada is charging on U.S. goods from September 8

From 12:01 a.m. on September 8, 2026, Canada is applying counter-tariffs of 15, 25 or 50 percent to $27.6 billion in goods imported from the United States, covering 648 tariff items. Goods subject to 50 percent include steel and aluminum, furniture, and clothing and apparel. Goods at 25 percent include appliances and dairy.
Each product's rate matches the corresponding U.S. rate on the same goods. Canada drew the list from products already targeted by U.S. Section 338 and Section 232 tariffs.
Rate
Goods included
50%
Steel and aluminum products, which were previously subject to a 25 percent counter-tariff. Furniture. Clothing and apparel.
25%
Appliances. Dairy products including cheese. Certain steel and aluminum derivative products.
15%
Electronics and tools.
Across tiers
Agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, plastics and construction materials appear across the rate bands depending on the specific tariff item.
The sectors Canada named as the focus of the measures are steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Those are the industries the government says were most affected by U.S. tariffs.
Treat the table as orientation, not as the answer for your shipment. Two products that sound similar can fall into different rate bands.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does this check?

Your Canadian HS codes against Canada's counter-tariff schedule, covering the 648 tariff items effective September 8, 2026, plus the pre-existing counter-tariffs that were never lifted.

Does Canada impose tariffs on U.S. goods?

Yes. Starting September 8, 2026, Canada will apply counter-tariffs of 15, 25, or 50 percent to 648 tariff items covering $27.6 billion in imports from the United States. Each product's rate matches the U.S. rate on the equivalent goods. Earlier counter-tariffs, including autos, also remain in place.

Didn't Canada remove its counter-tariffs?

Most were removed during 2025, which is why the September 8 measures catch people out. The 648 tariff items announced on August 25, 2026 are new. The counter-tariffs that were never removed, such as autos, have remained in place throughout.

Who pays the counter-tariff?

The Canadian importer of record, to CBSA, at the time of accounting. It is not collected from the U.S. exporter. Commercial terms with a supplier do not change who is liable on the entry.

What is a surtax?

The instrument Canada uses to apply counter-tariffs, charged as a percentage of value for duty on top of regular customs duty. "Surtax", "counter-tariff" and "retaliatory tariff" describe the same charge.

How fresh is the data?

Updated as new measures are published. Big announcement in the news? Check back or just rerun your codes.

Will this tell me what I owe?

Not the total. Just the rate band per code. Pair it with the Duty & Tax Calculator for the full number.

Is this a legal opinion?

No, it is a starting point. Anything tied to a real shipment should go through a trade expert.

Nothing got flagged. Does that mean I'm clear?

It means nothing on your list matched our current data. We still show every code so you know it was actually checked, not skipped.

Screen your codes before September 8

Classification determines exposure, and correcting it costs far less now than after an entry is filed. Screening a code list takes a minute.
