Canada's retaliatory tariffs take effect September 8 on steel, dairy, appliances, farm equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics, with machinery and farm equipment the largest exposed category at 38.84 billion dollars, more than double electronics at 14.84 billion. For corporate clients buying US capital equipment in those sectors, the practical question is whether their fiscal year end falls before September 8, since that timing determines which capital cost allowance claims are still available. Clients holding US-sourced inventory instead face gradual margin compression rather than a one-time revaluation.
