Yes it was. And He changed the name to Gulf of United States, but the gulf didnât change.
My point, tariffs are based on % of value. If a repaired phone came through Canada Customs, and the waybill says repair fee $0.00, IMO, there will be no duty on repaired phones. US customs doesnât put the tariff on outgoing, neither does Canada, itâs on incoming products.

The value on that waybill was nil, so no fees, taxes, duty or tariffs.
He put a tariff on aluminum. When our aluminum is going through US Customs and they collect it there. A tariff is supposed to price things so high that no one wants to buy it. Like the price of aluminum plus import, taxes, duty and tariff (whatever number He set for aluminium)
Canadian tariffs of 25% on goods from the United States: How they apply at the border.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is collecting the tariffs in the form of a surtax.

The US isnât collecting the 25% our seigneurs in Ottawa responded with. Full documents are at placed on all US goods coming in to Canada.
Side note that when Trump said he would use economic war, I bought 3 year more years on my servers and 2 years on domain names. No matter if he tariffs bits and bytes or not, the price always goes up anyway.
As for Nextdoc thinking they need to pay the tariff when European buys a L5, Europe collects the tariff. I let them know I am selling shares in a bridge.
CAVEAT: Canada, Europe, and others collect the tariff they put on imported unless there is a separate demand by US that Europeans collect and remit to US. But the paperwork behind is ludicrous.
Itâs clear some Canadian retailers have already marked up goods by 25%.
Produce from US is already prime scam for Canadian grocers except for a few grocers that are not owned by the US.
