Canadian Tariff on My TP? Oh No!
Written by Sandy Williams
Consumers in the United States may soon see their favorite products increase in price or become harder to find. In retaliation for Section 232 tariffs on U.S. steel and aluminum, Canada plans to impose its own 25 percent and 10 percent tariffs on a wide variety of goods.
The 25 percent tariff is restricted to steel products, but the 10 percent tariff will affect products ranging from aluminum to toilet paper. The tariffs are expected to take effect July 1 following a comment period.
