China Hits Canada With New Agriculture Tariffs

China announced tariffs on over $2.6 billion worth of Canadian agricultural and food products on Saturday, retaliating against levies Ottawa introduced in October.

The levies, announced by the commerce ministry and scheduled to take effect on March 20, match the 100 percent and 25 percent import duties Canada slapped on China-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminium products just over four months ago.

By excluding canola, which is also known as rapeseed, and was one of Canada’s top exports to the world’s No.1 agricultural importer prior to China investigating it for anti-dumping last year, Beijing may be keeping the door open for trade talks.

China will apply a 100 percent tariff to just over $1 billion of Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes, and pea imports, and a 25 percent duty on $1.6 billion worth of Canadian aquatic products and pork.
