Updated Aug. 22, 2026 CAD or USD Official sources linked No false “one rate fits all” math
In effect 50% U.S. tariff on covered lines

Three Section 338 measures took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Aug. 22. They apply only to listed Canadian goods. Not every Canadian export.

Announced, details pending Canada promises "dollar for dollar" retaliation

Canada announced matching countermeasures, but the new product schedule and implementation details were not yet published when this page was updated.

Still relevant Existing sector tariffs remain

Separate U.S. Section 232 measures and Canada’s existing 25% counter tariffs on specified steel, aluminum and vehicles require tariff line verification.

Estimate the tariff

Choose the direction and the treatment that matches the official tariff line.

Do not stack blindly: the White House says the new Section 338 duties do not apply to products already subject to Section 232. Always confirm the HS/HTS code, origin and effective date.

What changed on August 22

The 50% rate is targeted.

It applies to the tariff lines listed in the three U.S. Section 338 proclamations. The covered range includes products from wine to hockey sticks to cement.

CUSMA status does not override it.

For goods on the Section 338 lists, the additional 50% duty applies even when the product otherwise qualifies under CUSMA/USMCA.

Some categories are carved out.

The White House identifies energy, potash, Section 232 goods and certain fish and critical minerals among the exclusions from these new duties.

Canada’s newest response is not calculable yet.

The government announced dollar for dollar retaliation. Until the legal order and tariff item list are published, any exact new Canadian rate by product would be speculation.

Official sources and verification tools

Important: This calculator provides a simple estimate of an additional tariff using the selected preset. It is not legal, tax, customs or financial advice. Actual liability depends on the precise HS/HTS classification, origin rules, valuation, exclusions, quotas, remissions, entry date and current customs instructions. Verify every commercial shipment with a licensed customs broker or the applicable customs authority.
