USTR Greer Issues Statement on U.S. Response to Canada's Continued Retaliation
Ambassador Greer issued a statement regarding President Trump's response to Canada's ongoing retaliatory trade measures against the United States, with the underlying workflow tagged to a Section 338 Tariff Action and Import Ban Procedure Against Canada. Importers of Canadian-origin goods should be aware that escalating bilateral trade tensions may result in additional tariff or import restrictions on Canadian products.
We read this as a live escalation in the U.S.-Canada bilateral trade dispute that places Section 338 tariff and import-ban authority squarely on the table. We are monitoring the Section 338 procedure workflow closely, as any resulting presidential proclamation could alter duty liability on Canadian-origin entries with limited lead time.
