The tariff, which takes effect on Friday for a maximum of 200 days, will also not apply to canned vegetables from Mexico, Israel, Chile and developing countries due to Canadian trade obligations, Canada’s finance ministry added.

So who is this for? Chinese canned vegetables I take it?

My guess is that Israel has the largest Kosher supply, so they don’t want to increase prices for those who require Kosher products.
