Canada's response to US tariffs on Canadian goods

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports of steel and aluminum products from all countries effective March 12, 2025. Strict standards now require that steel and aluminum products be melted and poured within the U.S. to qualify as domestic, preventing circumvention of tariffs through minimal processing in exempt countries. Tariffs also have been expanded to include key downstream products that were previously not included.

Procurement impacts:

• Active Solicitations: It is the suppliers’ responsibility to assess their business risks and any relevant economic uncertainties, and factor those into their bids. If the applicable tariffs were announced before the closing of the solicitation, suppliers may resubmit their offer with revised pricing. Canada may consider extending the closing date of the solicitation by no less than 7 days to provide suppliers with the opportunity to revise their bids. Amendments to active solicitations will be posted to CanadaBuys. 

• Active Contracts and Methods of Supply: As a result of tariffs, suppliers concerned about meeting their obligations as set out in the contract or method of supply, should contact their contracting authority.
