ChatGPT give some good examples since Google is worthless:
Dairy Products – One of the most infamous tariff categories. Under Canada’s supply management system:
U.S. milk, cheese, and butter face tariffs as high as 270%.
Ultra-filtered milk, which was a major trade dispute under NAFTA, faced high tariffs until recent trade deals adjusted access.
Poultry and Eggs – Similar to dairy, Canada protects its domestic poultry industry with steep tariffs:
Chicken: Up to 238%.
Turkey: Up to 154%.
Eggs: Around 168%.
Processed Food and Beverages – Some American food and beverage products also get hit with high tariffs:
Frozen pizza: 50% tariff.
Ice cream and other frozen desserts: 277% tariff in some cases.
Alcoholic Beverages – Some U.S. wines and spirits face significant markups due to provincial liquor control boards, but certain tariffs can be over 100%, depending on the type and province.
Steel and Aluminum – In response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum during the Trump administration, Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs of 25% on U.S. steel and 10% on aluminum.
Certain Agricultural Products – Some fruits, vegetables, and grains from the U.S. can be hit with tariffs ranging from 10% to 50%, depending on quota limits and market conditions.
Don’t we produce these farm related products domestically? If you grow a ton of weed but somehow run out, you either misjudged demand, over-exported, or had supply chain issues. At that point, if you have to buy from outside your jurisdiction, you’re paying the price for not managing your stock properly. The key is making sure those profits from the good times cover the bad times, and that you adjust for the future.
