However, the subsequent order in July that added the 40% tariff on Brazil did not reiterate this exemption, creating some uncertainty. There is also an ongoing Section 301 investigation into Brazil's trade practices.
Current U.S. tariff landscape for Canada in the Semiconductors & Equipment sector as of October 7, 2025.
Under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), most goods, including semiconductors, traded between the U.S. and Canada were duty-free.
35% tariff applies to many non-USMCA compliant Canadian goods, USMCA-compliant products, which constitute the vast majority of trade, remain exempt from these tariffs.
