The Canadian government announced that it will impose a 100% tariff on electric vehicles imported from China starting from October 1, 2024; and a 25% tariff will be imposed on steel and aluminum products imported from China starting from October 22, 2024. Canada’s measures seriously violate World Trade Organization rules and are typical protectionist practices that constitute discriminatory measures against China and seriously damage China’s legitimate rights and interests.

The current bonded and tax reduction and exemption policies will remain unchanged, and the additional tariffs imposed this time will not be exempted or exempted.
4. Collection of relevant import taxes:
Additional tariff amount = tariff assessable price × additional tariff rate
Tariff = Duty payable based on the current applicable tax rate + Duty Added
