China's new tariffs of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola takes effect
BY Connect Newsroom, Aug 14, 2025 4:49 PM - REPORT AN ERRORA new tariff of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola has come into effect today, threatening to hurt Canadian industry and farmers. Beijing's announcement on Tuesday has already sent the price of the Canadian crop plummeting, wiping out millions of dollars in value.
China imposed the new duties after a year-long anti-dumping investigation. It launched the investigation in response to Canada's 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, after which the two countries had already imposed duties on each other.
Canola farmers and prairie premiers have called on the federal government to resolve the issue through dialogue with the Chinese government.
