Announcement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council of China on Imposing Additional Tariffs on Certain Imports Originating from Canada

The Canadian government has announced that, effective October 1, 2024, a 100% tariff will be imposed on electric vehicles imported from China. Additionally, starting October 22, 2024, a 25% tariff will be applied to steel and aluminum products imported from China. These measures by the Canadian government severely violate World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, constitute a typical act of protectionism, and represent discriminatory measures against China, seriously undermining China's legitimate rights and interests.

In accordance with the Customs Law of the People's Republic of China, the Foreign Trade Law of the People's Republic of China, and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as fundamental principles of international law, and with the approval of the State Council, China will impose additional tariffs on certain imports originating from Canada, effective March 20, 2025. The details are as follows:

1. A 100% tariff will be imposed on canola oil, oilseed meal, and peas. The specific product list is provided in Annex 1.

2. A 25% tariff will be imposed on seafood and pork. The specific product list is provided in Annex 2.

3. For the listed products originating from Canada, the additional tariffs will be applied on top of the existing applicable tariff rates. Current bonded and duty exemption policies will remain unchanged, but the newly imposed tariffs will not be exempted.

4. The calculation of the relevant import duties will be as follows:

 Additional tariff amount = Customs valuation × Additional tariff rate

 Total customs duty = Duty payable at the existing applicable tariff rate + Additional tariff amount

 Import-related value-added tax (VAT) and consumption tax will be levied in accordance with relevant laws and regulations
