Original Note:
Trumps 250-390% tariff claim is misleading. These are over-quota tariffs, only charged in when imports surpass set quotas. They are rarely triggered, and exist to prevent market flooding and economic emergency. Otherwise, these goods are traded with zero tarrifs. https://www.international.gc.ca/controls-controles/prod/index.aspx?lang=eng
