#TrumpTariffs The announcement by Trump caused Canadian exporters to prepare for the worst-case scenario: a widespread tax added to the already existing double-digit tariffs, which would have been particularly painful for industries like the automotive sector, where components cross the border several times before reaching their final form.

But to date, the Trump administration has not sent any official documentation ordering U.S. Customs and Border Protection to apply the new higher tariff, and U.S. importers have not received any new regulatory guidance.
