The Tariff Cost: analysis of the costs to Americans from new tariffs on Canada

Americans have paid measurable tariffs on Canadian goods since 2025, with duty collections tracked through customs logs showing the actual costs by product category and state. Canada has retaliated with its own tariffs, currently at 25% on steel and other products, with additional increases planned for September that include a 50% tier and groceries. The analysis estimates household costs vary by state and industry, while also documenting which American workers and exports face Canadian counter-tariffs, particularly in steel, aluminum, and agricultural sectors.
