USA tariffs SHOULD affect ONLY the implements and attachments as the tractor is Made in Japan. Historically 'farm equipment' has come into Canada from the USA 'duty free' ( tariff), so not taxed. Tractors over xx HP ( have to look it up..) also are NOT taxed( tariff) as 'farm use'. Under the xx HP, they are (or were).
There's also the CAUSMA ( NAFTA2.0) laws where 95% of the goods are under,so NO new tariffs. What's absurd is that NOBODY ( poiltician, guv employee, media jerks) can ACTUALLY say what the 35% tariff announced this week applies to !

The 35% applies to everything exported from Canada UNLESS its CUSMA compliant AND exporter has applied and been granted a CUSMA certificate. ( or its been granted a special excemption)

So my pigs are tarrif free. My neighbour will pay 35% because I have a certificate # on file at the border and he does not.

But what confuses me is why are some of the implements and mowers made in the USA have tariffs and some don't?? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

My dealer basically told me the same thing as the video. I'm sure it makes sense to someone.
