Canada Imports Rebound in June
Canada's total imports rose by 1.4% over a month in June 2025, the first increase in four months, with gains seen in 5 of 11 product categories.

A $2.0 billion jump in heavy equipment imports—linked to a one-time delivery for a Newfoundland oil project—was the main driver. Excluding this section, total imports were down 1.9%. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts were up 2.9%, following two consecutive monthly declines. Conversely, decreases were seen for consumer goods (-4.8%), of which miscellaneous goods and supplies (-10.8%) and pharmaceutical products (-8.8%), alongside metal and non-metallic mineral products (-7.8%).
