Canada implemented retaliatory tariffs on C$27.6 billion of U.S.-origin imports with surtax rates between 15% and 50%, following a 50% U.S. tariff on the same value of Canadian goods. This tariff escalation complicates e-commerce product costing, sourcing, and fulfillment across the U.S.-Canada border amid ongoing USMCA trade agreement uncertainties.
