Mark Carney announced the arrangement, which rolls back the additional duties imposed in 2024, during his state visit in Beijing.<\/b>
\nCanada will remove the additional 100 per cent in tariffs it had imposed on Chinese electric vehicle (EV) imports, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday during a state visit in Beijing.
In place of the higher duties, Carney said, Canada will cap import volume and retain a standard tariff rate of 6.1 per cent to shipments within the 49,000-unit limit.
Canada\u2019s additional tariffs, covering all EVs made in China, took effect in October 2024, following a similar move from the United States.
\u201cIn order for Canada to build our own competitive EV sector, we need to learn from innovative partners, access their supply chains and increase local demand,\u201d Carney said at a press briefing following talks with President Xi Jinping.
He added that by replacing the high tariffs with an import quota, it would help deliver the \u201cfull potential\u201d of these partnerships and bring down costs for Canadians.
\u201cIt\u2019s expected that, within three years, this agreement will drive considerable Chinese investment in Canada\u2019s auto sector, creating good careers in Canada and accelerating our progress towards a net-zero future,\u201d Carney said.<\/p>\n
