New Surtax Update for Canned Vegetable Imports

Certain canned vegetable goods imported into Canada may now be subject to a surtax under Customs Notice 26-14.

The affected products include:

• Corn
• Peas
• Green beans
• Wax beans
• Mixed vegetables
• White, black, red, and pinto beans
• Chickpeas

The surtax applies to qualifying products packaged in metal or aluminum cans, including retail, foodservice, industrial, and bulk formats.

Not sure whether your products are affected?

Argo Customs Brokers can help review your HS classification, confirm surtax applicability, and ensure your import documentation is accurate.

📞 Contact Argo Customs Brokers before your next shipment.

CUSMA remains in effect, but the U.S. decision moves the Agreement into an annual review cycle and creates more uncertainty for Canadian importers and exporters.

Businesses should continue monitoring tariffs, surtaxes, documentation, and future negotiations.

Importing goods into Canada by courier?

Many businesses assume that low-value shipments automatically clear customs without issues—but that's not always the case.

The CLVS Program Canada can help simplify customs clearance for eligible courier shipments, but factors like shipment value, product descriptions, HS classification, documentation, and regulated goods still play a major role.

Before your next shipment, make sure you:
✔ Verify the shipment qualifies for CLVS
✔ Use clear and accurate product descriptions
✔ Confirm the correct declared value
✔ Review HS classifications for commercial goods
✔ Understand potential duties and taxes
✔ Know when customs broker support may be required

A few minutes of preparation can help reduce delays, unexpected costs, and customs clearance issues.

Need guidance with your commercial imports into Canada? Our customs specialists can help you choose the right clearance process before your shipment reaches the border.

anadian importers should review the new Customs Notice 26-14.

Effective June 19, 2026, certain canned vegetable goods imported into Canada may be subject to a 10% surtax based on the value for duty. This applies to specific canned products such as corn, peas, green beans, mixed vegetables, beans, chickpeas, and related HS classifications.

Important note: The policy intent is to apply this surtax to vegetables in metal/aluminum cans only, not glass jars.

If your business imports canned vegetable products into Canada, reviewing the correct HS code, product format, and surtax impact is essential before your next shipment.

Argo Customs can help importers understand classification, surtax exposure, and customs clearance requirements.
