I don’t seem to be able to find the answer to this question.
What happened with the 300 percent tax on dairy products that the president is always talking about with Canada?
The deal will preserve a trade dispute settlement mechanism that Canada fought hard to maintain to protect its lumber industry and other sectors from U.S. anti-dumping tariffs, Canadian sources said.
But this came at a cost.
Canada had agreed to provide U.S. dairy farmers access to about 3.5 percent of its approximately $16 billion annual domestic dairy market, the sources said, adding that the Canadian government is prepared to offer compensation to dairy farmers hurt by the deal.
The influential Dairy Farmers of Canada lobby group, which strongly opposes the idea, said in a statement that it insisted "any final NAFTA deal should have no further negative impact on the dairy sector."
No, the tariffs don’t go away. However, a greater quantity of product will be able to move tariff-free.
In 2017, Canada imported C$471 million ($368 million) in dairy products from the U.S., while C$149 million crossed the border in the opposite direction, creating a deficit of about C$322 million, Canadian government data show. Still, dairy is a tiny part of the $500 billion in goods the nations trade annually.
Canada’s concessions will boost the amount of milk, cheese and cream the U.S. can ship tariff-free, including increasing fluid milk exports to 50,000 metric tons by year six of the agreement, according to the office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
