The Proclamation also confirms no drawback will be available for these goods upon export from the UnitedStates:

(7) No drawback shall be available with respect to the duties imposed pursuant to thisproclamation.

In a statement issued by Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, she said, “In response to the American tariffs, Canada intends to swiftly impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures.”
