Summary
June 19 marked the start of a temporary 10% import tax on canned vegetables, with Canada putting the safeguard measure into effect immediately.
The Finance Department said the tariff is meant to protect domestic growers and food processors after an earlier probe examined possible trade diversion.
The measure can remain in place for a maximum of 200 days, making it a short-term trade defense while authorities assess the market impact.
