    Unless the products are made in the US, wouldn’t there be no tariffs for products made elsewhere?

    In any case, it doesn’t make sense for things not made in Canada to be mislabeled as such

      This is what ChatGTP says, which may or may not be true or accurate… duty and tariffs are a complex topic!

      "Here are some categories of products that may have tariffs when imported into Canada from countries other than the United States:

      Textiles and Apparel: Many textiles and clothing items imported from countries outside of the US may face tariffs.
      
      Footwear: Certain types of footwear can incur tariffs when imported from non-US countries.
      
      Automobiles and Auto Parts: While there are specific agreements for trade with the US, vehicles and parts from other countries may be subject to tariffs.
      
      Agricultural Products: Certain agricultural products, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, may have tariffs when imported from non-US countries due to supply management policies.
      
      Steel and Aluminum: Tariffs may apply to steel and aluminum products imported from countries other than the US, especially if they are subject to trade restrictions.
      
      Consumer Electronics: Some electronics may have tariffs depending on their country of origin.
      
      Furniture and Home Goods: Certain furniture items may incur tariffs when imported from non-US countries."

      For sure, I guess it also depends on how strict you are with the concept.

      Some companies assemble good here, but their components are made elsewhere. Other products are made here using 100% Canadian materials or ingredients. The latter is exceedingly more difficult to find.
