# China suspending some agricultural tariffs on Canada starting March 1

> China said it will suspend some tariffs on Canadian agricultural products, covering canola meal and peas at 100% and lobster and crab at 25%, from March 1 through the end of 2026. The announcement made no mention of canola seed tariffs, which Ottawa had expected to be cut to about 15%. A Chinese canola probe is due to conclude March 9, and buyers are already booking Canadian cargoes.

## Why it matters

Booking of Canadian canola cargoes ahead of the reduced rate supports Canadian canola demand, but the unresolved seed tariff keeps the outcome uncertain until the March 9 ruling.
