美国烈酒业呼吁将零对零关税永久化 加拿大从第二大出口市场跌至第六
美国蒸馏酒委员会（Discus）国际贸易政策与市场准入高级副总裁罗布·马龙表示，将零对零关税协议永久化对美国烈酒行业至关重要。加拿大曾是美国烈酒第二大出口市场，受贸易战影响已降至第六位。马龙指出，进口烈酒关税正沿整条供应链冲击进口商、批发商、零售商、餐饮酒店及员工；美国烈酒行业每年贡献超2500亿美元经济活动、支撑170万个就业岗位。目前51个零对零关税伙伴国占美国烈酒出口81%、进口近100%。2000年至2025年美国烈酒出口由4.78亿美元增至23.7亿美元，进口则由27亿美元升至2022年121亿美元峰值后，2025年回落至84亿美元。
Canada was the second-largest export market for American spirits but has fallen to sixth place due to the ongoing trade war with the US. The US and Canada have been embroiled in a tariff dispute, with spirits in the crossfire.
Over the past 25 years, spirit imports into the US grew from approximately US$2.7 billion in 2000 to a peak of US$12.1bn in 2022. By 2025, when tariffs were largely implemented on imported spirits, the category saw a drop of about 30% below that peak to US$8.4bn.
“These tariffs on imported spirits are having a negative effect through the entire supply chain of the spirits sector, impacting importers, wholesalers, retailers, restaurants, bars, hospitality businesses and, of course, their employees – and this is important,” said Rob Maron, senior vice-president for international trade policy and market access at Discus.
“It’s because the spirit sector is a critical part of the US economy, generating more than US$250bn in annual economic activity, supporting 1.7 million jobs in the United States.”
In 2025, the 51 countries where the US spirits sector has zero-for-zero tariff agreements accounted for 81% of US spirits exports, and almost 100% of US imports.
The open trading environment helped US spirits exports grow “dramatically”, from around US$478m in 2000 to US$2.37bn in 2025.
However, in February 2025, US president Donald Trump applied 25% tariffs on a selection of Canadian goods. The following month, eight Canadian provinces cleared all American alcohol from their shelves.
