Trade overview

Canada is the United States' largest single trading partner, sharing the world's longest international border and deeply integrated supply chains across automotive, energy, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors. Trade between the US and Canada is governed by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA in 2020. Canada consistently ranks as either the top origin or destination for US goods trade on an annual basis.
