China has imposed additional duties on a number of Canadian goods since March 20.

China has been imposing additional duties on some imported goods from Canada since March 20. This was reported by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China.

"Starting March 20, 2025, additional duties will be imposed on some goods imported from Canada," the South China Morning Post quoted the agency as saying on March 8.

The 100% tariff will apply to rapeseed oil, oilcake and peas, while the 25% duty will apply to Canadian seafood and pork.

According to the agency, Canada's actions violate the rules of the World Trade Organization, are a prime example of protectionism, discriminatory measures against China and cause significant damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the country.

At the end of February, US President Donald Trump announced that the decision to impose tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China from March 4 remains in force. He clarified that China will also be subject to an additional tariff of 10% from this date. Earlier that month, Trump announced that duties of 25% would be imposed on steel and aluminum imported into the United States. Such duties were imposed on products of those countries that had previously imposed retaliatory restrictions on American products.
