Default Tariffs

As of September 1, 2025, and continuing into early 2026, Canada continues to apply 25% tariffs on most automobiles manufactured in the United States, including the Bowling Green-assembled Corvette.
The Corvette C8) remained subject to the 25% surcharge.

To not be subject to the counter tariff, the automobile must be made with at least 75% of the material made in North America. The corvette is at about 71%-73%.

C'mon GM, find some more parts made in North America for the C8. The 25% tariff makes the car riduculously expensive in Canada.

If I were GM, I'd stop right at 74%.

Pure nonsense,,,No tariffs on Corvette:

Base stingray Canada is $93,300 cdn. @73.50 U.S. = $68,575 U.s.

Base stingray U.S is $70,000

Exchange rate at 1.37 % ,,, $70,000 x 1.37 = $95,900 Cdn.

Yes, I saw that too. But since you are on the CF Community team, I thought you were looking at his IP address, as well…

31 hours to drive here every winter. I'm in the US now.

Any way, the tariff was put on by Canada as a counter measure and is real.

But if Canada becomes the 51st state there would be no tariff.
