How much liquor does Canada buy from the US?

Canada sells up to $965 million worth of American alcohol annually, with more than 3,600 U.S. products available for Canadian consumers, and it promised that more information will be made available to local customers and suppliers.

A report from newsnationnow.com showed that:

"...to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, Canada has retaliated with its own trade policies, including removing American-made liquor from shelves.

The move could be a big blow to the U.S., with exports from the top liquor-producing states taking in nearly $3 billion annually.

In Ontario, Premier Doug Ford ordered the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to take American products off its shelves and remove them from its catalog so retailers and restaurants wouldn’t be able to order them. The LCBO lists more than 3,600 products from 35 U.S. states in its catalog.
