I made a mistake. USA alcohol had a Canadian import tariff of 25% between March 4, 2025 until August 31, 2025. I guess with the Provincial alcohol bans the feds removed it to avoid retaliation from the USA against our alcohol.

The USA has now put a tariff on Canadian alcohol on Aug 22, 2026 of 50% so as a result Saskatchewan will introduce a provincial 50% tax on USA alcohol starting Sep 8, 2026:
