    To address the flow of illicit drugs across the U.S.-Canada border, the U.S. has imposed additional tariffs on Canadian imports as outlined in a series of executive orders. This notice by the Department of Homeland Security adjusts the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. to implement these tariffs, effective March 7, 2025. The changes include a 10% tariff on certain Canadian products not qualifying for duty-free status under the USMCA, and specialized tariff adjustments for automotive and potash products to minimize economic disruption. The tariffs aim to pressure Canada to enhance measures against drug trafficking while maintaining trade considerations for vital sectors like the automotive industry.
