Trump raises tariffs on Canadian autos and steel to 50 percent
Aug 25, 2026
According to Arzdigital, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday, Shahrivar 2, 1405 (August 24, 2026), that tariffs on all Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts and steel will rise to 50 percent starting January 1, 2027. He described the move as a response to what he called Canada's unfair trade practices and its tariffs on U.S. agricultural products, claiming the U.S. runs a 60 billion dollar annual trade deficit with Canada.
Trump said companies that relocate production to the United States would be exempt from the tariffs. Canada is one of the largest U.S. trading partners in autos, parts and steel, and the higher tariffs could affect North American auto supply chains and production costs.

Iran's Car Market Splits in Two: Domestic Models Correct Lower While Imports Keep Climbing
Iran's auto market showed two different patterns on Saturday, September 5, 2026 (14 Shahrivar 1405): some domestic models entered a price correction while a large share of imported cars kept climbing. According to Ecoiran, the automatic Peugeot 207 Panorama fell from 3 billion tomans to 2.95 billion tomans (down 50 million tomans) and the Dena Plus Turbo fell from 3.18 billion to 3.07 billion tomans (down about 3.5 percent), even as the free market dollar rate stayed in last week's elevated range over the same period. By contrast, among imported models, the Kia K5's price rose from 9.65 billion tomans on 11 Shahrivar to 11.4 billion tomans on 14 Shahrivar, a roughly 18.1 percent jump in just three days. The Audi Q5 Black rose 1 billion tomans to 14.5 billion, and the Toyota Camry Limited rose 200 million tomans to 15 billion. Ecoiran described the divergence as a possible sign that higher priced imported cars are gradually returning to their role as a store of value, even as weak demand weighs on domestic models.

Per the report, the simultaneous jump in gold and currency prices, including the free market dollar's move above 221,000 tomans, has been a main driver of the price increases.

Iran Khodro Raises Vehicle Prices From Today
According to Bourse News, Iran Khodro said in a notice that consumer prices for its products are rising from today, Thursday, September 3, 2026 (12 Shahrivar 1405), due to higher costs for vehicle scrappage certificates and registration.
