Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe unveiled a 50 percent counter-duty on American alcohol. The province will impose extra fees to American alcohol items rather than removing them from store shelves. Shoppers in Saskatchewan will still see U.S. alcohol products in retail stores, but those items will have the higher duty fee.
Existing U.S. tariffs drive Canadian alcohol producers to rethink their biggest foreign trade area. Premier Scott Moe noted Saskatchewan will gather the 50 percent extra tax on American alcohol products while leaving products accessible on store shelves.
