measurementUnder the Richmond Fed's 'Scenario 2' tariff model, Canada's Average Effective Tariff Rate (AETR) increases to 11.9 percent, while Mexico's AETR rises to 15.5 percent.
claimScenario 2 of the proposed 2025 tariff package includes a 20 percent tariff on all imports from China, a 25 percent tariff on aluminum and steel imports from all countries, and a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from Canada and Mexico not covered under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
claimAccording to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Section 232 duties on steel and aluminum imports cannot be waived by free trade agreements, meaning they apply even to imports from trading partners such as Canada and Mexico.
measurementThe Richmond Fed's 'Scenario 2' economic model adds 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico that are not covered under the USMCA, resulting in an overall Average Effective Tariff Rate (AETR) increase from 7.1 percent to 10.4 percent.
measurementCanada and Mexico account for 12.6 percent and 15.5 percent of total U.S. imports, respectively.
claimTariffs of 25 percent on goods imported from Canada and Mexico that are not subject to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) are scheduled to take effect in April 2025, alongside potential tariffs on automotive imports and goods from the European Union.

claimThe Richmond Fed observes that while approximately half of imports from Canada and Mexico fall outside the scope of the USMCA, these goods do not constitute the most import-heavy segments of U.S. trade with those countries, leading to a more dispersed impact across sectors compared to the high-volume sector targeting in Scenario 1.
claimUnder Scenario 3, U.S. counties in the industrial Midwest, parts of the Great Lakes, and manufacturing-intensive areas of the South face average tariff rates exceeding 10 percent due to their integration in global automotive supply chains with partners like Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
measurementUnder the Richmond Fed's 'Scenario 3' model, the transportation equipment sector faces average tariff rates above 25 percent, reflecting the heavy dependence of U.S. auto manufacturing on imported parts and finished vehicles from Canada, Mexico, and the EU.
measurementIn Scenario 1, the Average Effective Tariff Rate (AETR) for Canada rises from 0.1 percent to 1.5 percent, and the AETR for Mexico rises from 0.2 percent to 2.8 percent.
claimRegions deeply integrated into North American manufacturing supply chains, specifically automotive and metal-intensive industries, would bear the heaviest economic burden under a scenario imposing 25 percent tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and imports of aluminum and steel.
measurementThe Richmond Fed's 'Scenario 2' tariff model assumes a 20 percent increase on all imports from China, a 25 percent increase on all aluminum and steel imports, and a 25 percent tariff on non-USMCA goods from Canada and Mexico relative to the benchmark case.
claimNew tariff measures targeting Canada, Mexico, the European Union, and automobiles threaten to cause widespread disruptions across key U.S. industries.
