U.S. Bans Almost $1 Million Worth of Canadian Imports Including Alcohol and Motorcycles Amid Trade War

President Donald Trumpis taking more drastic action against Canada as the trade war continues.

On Tuesday, September 29, a U.S. ban — which was announced earlier this month — began on nearly $1 billion in Canadian imports, including alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles, after Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs, the Associated Press reported.

Jacob Jensen, director of trade policy at the center-right American Action Forum think tank, told the outlet that, based on 2025 numbers, he calculated that the ban totaled about $967 million worth of Canadian imports.

USA Today reported that the alcohol ban covers many Canadian-made liquors, including whiskey, wine, beer, vermouth, tequila, vodka, and rum, citing White House documents, and that the dairy ban includes whey, a milk byproduct used to make cheese.

As First for Money previously reported, in August, the Trump Administration began a 50 percent tax on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports.

Canada responded by imposing retaliatory tariffs on many U.S. goods, ranging from 15 percent to 50 percent. In a news release from the Canadian Department of Finance in August, the government explained, “Canada will match the new U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar, rate for rate, with additional Canadian tariffs on U.S. goods.”

Former U.S. trade official Patrick Childress told AP the latest move “certainly won’t do anything to help the trade tensions between the United States and Canada,” noting, “For a lot of these goods, the 50 percent was already acting as a de facto ban by making importation from Canada into the United States uneconomical.”
