Quick math
What the extra duty is
Section 338’s 50% is on customs value, not margin. Canada’s counter-tariff is the listed percentage on the U.S.-origin good. This ignores ordinary MFN duty, MPF, and other remedies.
$5,000extra duty
Example: a $100,000 shipment at +50% is $50,000 extra, plus whatever ordinary duty still applies. USMCA preference does not turn the U.S. 50% off.
