<\/p>\nCalifornia exports nearly $17 billion in goods to Canada. How will tariffs impact the state?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A trade war between the United States and Canada could have ripple effects in California.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s because Canada is California\u2019s second-largest export market after Mexico. Nearly $17 billion in goods were sent to our northern neighbor in 2025, according to government data<\/a>. California imported $15.43 billion from Canada in return.<\/p>\n (Video above: How the US-Canada trade war could hit consumers, farmers, businesses.)<\/p>\n After trade negotiations broke down last Friday, President Donald Trump\u2019s administration imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian goods, which covers about 5% of Canadian exports, The Associated Press reported<\/a>. (See the list below.)<\/p>\n Canada responded by announcing $20 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American goods, affecting more than 700 products, starting Sept. 8. <\/p>\n Canada\u2019s government said its tariffs would focus on sectors \u201cthat are most impacted by U.S. tariffs,\u201d which include steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.<\/p>\n KCRA 3 reached out to the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association for a response to Canada\u2019s retaliatory tariffs and how they could impact the state. <\/p>\n A CalChamber representative said the group was still reviewing the details. <\/p>\n \u201cWe’re disappointed in the breakdown of U.S.-Canada trade negotiations, where we will now experience higher prices on Canadian imports and new and impactful tariffs on products made and grown in California, as Canada is a top export partner for our state,\u201d Susanne Stirling, CalChamber’s senior vice president for international affairs, said in a statement. \u201cThese tariffs could have a notable effect on our economy. We urge U.S. and Canadian officials to work together on a solution that charts a reasonable course forward for the flow of commerce and products, as well as the continuation of U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n CMTA\u2019s President & CEO Lance Hastings said, \u201cAutomotive and auto parts manufacturers, along with any company that relies on Canadian steel and aluminum, are just a few of the industries most exposed as these trade tensions escalate. California manufacturers operate in a just-in-time global marketplace, and rapid shifts in trade policy add cost and uncertainty for companies with cross-border supply chains. California manufacturers are caught in the crossfire, when what we seek is more economic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n A closer look at the California-Canada trade relationship, according to Canada\u2019s government. <\/p>\n These are the top categories of California exports to Canada: <\/p>\n These are the top California service exports to Canada: <\/p>\n This is the percentage of goods to Canada annually that California exports by industry:<\/p>\n This is the percentage of goods that California imports from Canada by industry: <\/p>\n These are the top California goods imported from Canada: <\/p>\n See more data about the overall U.S. trade relationship with Canada below. <\/p>\n See more coverage of top California stories here<\/strong><\/a> |<\/strong> Download our app<\/strong><\/a> |<\/strong> Subscribe to our morning newsletter<\/strong><\/a> |<\/strong> Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel<\/strong><\/a> |<\/strong> Make KCRA a preferred news source in Google<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"California exports nearly $17 billion in goods to Canada.
