The horizontal remission of Canadian counter-tariffs on U.S. imports has been an important element of helping Canadian businesses manage the initial impact of those counter-tariffs. The Government of Canada’s temporary horizontal remission of counter-tariffs for goods used in Canada for manufacturing, processing, food and beverage packaging, or agricultural production is currently set to expire on December 15, 2025.
However, long-term horizontal remission is inconsistent with ensuring a competitive domestic marketplace for Canadian steel producers. To support a predictable transition away from the horizontal remission of Canadian counter-tariffs, the government will phase it out while allowing further time for Canadian operations to adjust their supply-chains.
The temporary horizontal remission of counter-tariffs on U.S. steel used for manufacturing, processing, food and beverage packaging, or agricultural production will
expire effective January 31, 2026, with the continued exception of goods used for the manufacturing of automobiles, auto parts, and aerospace products. The horizontal remission of counter-tariffs on aluminum products will also continue beyond January 31, 2026.
Importers will still be eligible to apply for remission under the remission framework published by the government on March 4, 2025, which provides for ongoing tariff relief in a narrow set of circumstances, for example where inputs cannot be sourced domestically.
