China will suspend additional tariffs on certain imports from Canada from March 1 to Dec. 31, 2026, according to an announcement released Friday by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.
The tariffs were previously imposed following an anti-discrimination probe.
The commission said the additional tariffs that were previously imposed -- 100 percent on oil cakes and peas, and 25 percent on lobsters and crabs from Canada -- will be suspended during this period.
China initiated an anti-discrimination probe into Canada's restrictive measures in September 2024 and announced its ruling on March 8, 2025, deciding to impose additional tariffs on certain Canadian goods as countermeasures.
Beginning March 20, 2025, an additional 100 percent tariff was imposed on imported rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas originating from Canada, while aquatic products and pork were subject to an additional 25 percent tariff.
