No comprehensive Canada-India trade agreement in force yet
As of August 2026, Canada and India do not have a comprehensive trade agreement in force. The two governments have resumed negotiations toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement and have stated an objective of concluding negotiations in 2026. Until an agreement is implemented, importers must use the current Canadian Customs Tariff. Duty depends on the product's tariff classification, origin and applicable tariff treatment.
Why it matters: Do not assume products from India automatically receive reduced duty. Confirm the tariff classification and current duty rate for your exact product before pricing it or placing an order.
