Latest Updates

Canada’s total imports fell 3.5% month-on-month to CAD 67.58 billion in April 2025, marking the second decline since September 2024. The main contributors to the decline were motor vehicles and parts (-17.7%), industrial machinery, equipment and parts (-9.5%), consumer goods (-4.2%), and electronic and electrical equipment and parts (-5.5%). Imports from the United States fell 10.8% after Canada announced in early April that it would impose retaliatory tariffs of 25% on vehicles manufactured in the United States. The move was a response to the Trump administration’s announced import duties on foreign automobiles, adding to the impact of the controversial decision in March to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum.
