MOFCOM: Canada Cuts Tariffs on Chinese EVs from 100% to 6.1%
From January 14 to 17, during Canadian Prime Minister Carney's official visit to China at the invitation of the Chinese side, the two parties reached broad consensus on deepening economic and trade cooperation, signed the "China-Canada Economic and Trade Cooperation Roadmap," and formed a preliminary joint arrangement for addressing bilateral economic and trade issues. Among them, Canada will make positive adjustments to measures related to the export of Chinese electric vehicles to Canada.

In 2024, Canada imposed a 100% additional tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, which severely impacted China's EV exports to Canada. Under the latest adjustment, Canada will grant a quota of 49,000 Chinese electric vehicles per year. Within the quota, the most-favored-nation tariff rate of 6.1% will apply, and the 100% additional tariff will no longer be levied. The quota will increase year by year at a certain ratio.
