Canada Tariff Finder

As imports and exports change rapidly, Durham Region businesses will find this Tariff Finder resource a great place to find information. The Durham Workforce Authority (DWA) found this tool that can assist Durham businesses with tariff information.

The Canada Tariff Finder enables Canadian businesses to check import or export tariffs for specific goods and markets, with a focus on countries with which Canada has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It provides up-to-date custom tariff information for these countries. It gives the current tariff rate for the specific goods being searched and for later years.

The tool can help local businesses compare tariffs between products or countries to find options.

The tool can also compare tariffs for up to three countries or products. It simplifies this search by suggesting products that match the keyword(s) or Harmonized System (HS) code entered.

As things change quickly, this is an essential tool for Durham businesses to get accurate, up-to-date information.

The Canada Tariff Finder results from collaboration between the Business Development of Canada (BDC), Export Development Canada (EDC)  and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service of Global Affairs Canada.

About the DWA:

The DWA creates an annual plan supplying helpful information for community planning. Next month, the DWA will release its annual Labour Market Plan (LMP).

The plan focuses on the following:

  • Durham Region demographics change, migration trends in and out, educational attainment of residents, and changes in employers in the local area by employee size and 3-digit NAICs.
  • Enhanced Jobs First Durham (JFD) data was extracted from the DWA’s boutique job board using hyper-local information.
  • An update on Employment Ontario data.

The DWA provides just-in-time custom labour market information and often conducts custom fee-for-service research. If you are interested in local data, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the DWA.

The Province of Ontario partially funds the DWA to supply Labour Market Information (LMI) to the Region of Durham.
