    The US and Canada both have dairy tariffs in place. However, they functionally do not exist because they are only applied after a quota is met. For example, last year Canada charged a 0% tariff on all US dairy imports because the total volume of trade never breached the quota limit. This has basically been the case since NAFTA.

    Canada, on average, actually charges lower tariffs than the US. That was true before Trump’s trade war and remains true today.
