Understanding the Impact of Steel and Aluminum Tariffs in Canada on Alura Products

The recent reinstatement of 25% US tariffs on Canadian goods, particularly on steel and aluminum products, has added a layer of complexity for U.S. contractors sourcing high-quality Canadian building products. These trade adjustments, formally known as Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum products, are part of a broader U.S. policy intended to protect domestic production but have created cost concerns for those purchasing across the border.

Tariffs are currently impacting the pricing of Alura products that fall under the steel and aluminum category, subject to the 25% duty imposed by U.S. trade policy. However, we are committed to transparency, cost management, and continued support for our U.S. clients navigating the tariff rate and trade agreements landscape.

How Do These Tariffs Affect Alura Products?

At Alura, our primary concern is supporting our customers and helping them manage the financial implications of these trade policies. To ensure complete transparency, every order affected by these duties includes a detailed breakdown showing how the tariffs contribute to the final cost. The 25% tariff on Canadian goods can create budgeting challenges, but we’re here to provide clarity and support to keep your projects on track.

Offering Tariff Discounts to Ease the Impact

These discounts are available on qualifying orders and are structured to give contractors more breathing room when budgeting for their projects.
