Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced a 50 percent counter-duty on American liquor. The province will impose extra fees to American alcohol products rather than pulling them from store shelves. Shoppers in Saskatchewan will still encounter U.S. alcohol products in retail stores, but those items will feature the higher duty fee.
Existing U.S. tariffs drive Canadian alcohol producers to re-evaluate their biggest foreign trade area. Premier Scott Moe stated Saskatchewan will apply the 50 percent retaliatory tax on American alcohol products while maintaining inventory available on store shelves.
