Canada imposing 100% tariff on EV imports from China, following similar move by US
“Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace,” he said.
The Canadian government says it will be implementing a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles.
The move was announced on Monday and follows similar U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. In May, the Biden administration imposed a 100% tariff on EVs imported from China.
U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met Sunday with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Cabinet ministers and reportedly raised the issue.
Sullivan is scheduled for his first visit to Beijing on Tuesday.
Trudeau said Canada will also implement a 25% tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum.
“Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace,” he said.
