Canada Extends U.S. Tariff Relief to June 2028, Adding Mining and Public Education Goods
Canada's Department of Finance announced in Ottawa on November 9 that Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is modifying tariff relief for businesses and workers affected by U.S. tariffs, extending the horizontal remission by one year, to June 30, 2028.
Newly covered are non-steel goods used in mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction, and all goods used by public education entities, including entities mandated by Indigenous organizations. Horizontal relief will end in steps for certain goods with domestic production: some trailers from December 1, 2026, and some aluminum wire, aluminum extrusions and paperboard products from February 1, 2027. Targeted remission remains available for goods in short supply and for special circumstances such as pre-existing contracts.
On September 8, 2026, Canada imposed additional counter-tariffs of 15 to 50 percent on a range of U.S. imports. The horizontal relief runs from November 9, 2026 to June 30, 2028, covering end uses including public health, safety and national security, public education, manufacturing and processing, agricultural production and packaging, food and beverage packaging, and mining and oil and gas extraction. Champagne said the changes protect and support Canadian workers and businesses while encouraging the use of Canadian-made goods. (Source: Department of Finance Canada)
