The 2025 United States tariff actions on Canadian goods: the operative rates and dates, from the primary documents
The ad valorem duty rates and effective dates the 2025 executive orders and section 232 proclamations state for imports from Canada: the general additional duty (25 percent, effective March 4, 2025; USMCA-preference goods excepted March 7; raised to 35 percent August 1), the 10 percent energy rate, and the separate automobile (25 percent), steel and aluminum (50 percent), and softwood timber and lumber (10 percent) actions. Dated context for the export record -- what changed, and when, in the primary documents' own words.
A Resolution record holds one institution's own published figures for a single, specific quantity — a projection, an estimate, or a measured record — across every vintage in which that institution restated it. Each time an issuer publishes a new budget, report, or release, an earlier figure does not disappear from the record; it is preserved exactly as it was first published, dated and cited, alongside the newer one. What is a Resolution record? →
Maintained record. This lineage preserves an official record version by version — observations, estimates, or benchmarks its issuer restated over time. It projects nothing, so no settlement is pending; where a figure can still be revised, the page says so. How the numbers moved between versions is the evidence this lineage exists to keep.

Movement between vintages
A record, not a ranking: this entry states what was published and how it compares to what followed. It never says who was right, which institution performed better, or grades a forecaster's competence.

Evidence qualifications (4)
- This Resolution states what the named documents say -- rates, scopes, and effective dates -- and nothing about the resulting duty actually paid on any shipment. Coverage depends on USMCA qualification, product classification, exclusions, and subsequent modifications; no official source publishes a continuously updated statement of the tariff status of Canadian exports, and that absence is recorded as the published evidence gap this entry links.
- The documents pinned here are the principal 2025 actions named by the Brief's export record; they are not a complete tariff chronicle. Later modifications, exemptions, court proceedings, or revocations are outside this entry until a value here is superseded, at which point the record gains a dated correction rather than an in-place edit.
- Nothing here attributes any specific movement in Canada's export record to any specific action. The Brief shows the record beside these dated actions; alignment in time is shown, causation is not claimed.
- The long-running countervailing and anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber are Commerce Department determinations under a separate statutory track and are not pinned here.
