The federal government is extending its temporary tariff remission program by one year to June 30, 2028 and widening eligible goods beyond U.S. steel imports.
The Story
The federal government says it is extending its temporary remission program for firms importing tariffed U.S. goods by another year to June 30, 2028.
Ottawa also says it will change which goods can receive remissions, expanding eligibility beyond steel to include non-steel goods used in manufacturing, agricultural production, mining and oil and gas extraction.
The program was created to reduce the burden on Canadian firms caught in the tariff crossfire during Canada’s retaliatory duties against the United States, and Ottawa has previously extended it and adjusted what it covers as it works to give firms more time to transition away from U.S. suppliers.
Ottawa says goods used by public education entities—including those mandated by Indigenous organizations—will also be eligible for relief under the revised program.
The government added that it is planning to exclude goods that can be reliably sourced in Canada, including certain trailers, aluminum wire and paperboard products.
