Canada is implementing tough measures to regulate the importation of electric vehicles that originate from China.
The decision reflects the Canadian government’s strategy to harmonize its trade policies with those of the Biden administration in the United States.
The move aims to establish alignment between Canada and the U.S. regarding trade practices concerning Chinese-made electric vehicles, highlighting a coordinated approach between the two nations on international trade issues.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has initiated a 30-day public consultation period, marking the preliminary stage preceding the imposition of tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs) by Canada.
Reports of the government’s intention to increase these tariffs were initially disclosed by Bloomberg News last week. This consultation period serves as the initial step in the process toward potential tariff adjustments, inviting public input and discussion before any final decisions are made.
