China 's intent to slap 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian seafood products adds another layer of uncertainty to industry.

China announced the retaliatory tariffs on Saturday in response to the Canadian surtax of 100 per cent on all Chinese -made electric vehicles, and of 25% on steel and aluminum.

The Chinese duties are to take effect March 20 on a long list of products like lobster, snow crab and shrimp.

The federal government says China is Canada ’s second largest fish and seafood export market after the U.S ..

“All of those things take time, money, marketing and creativity, so the pivot is more challenging than people might think,” he said. According to China ’s Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council , additional 100 per cent tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25 per cent tariffs will apply to pork and aquatic products..
