U.S. made products will soon be more expensive in Canada in the wake of the 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 1st.
While the full list of products has yet to be revealed, Trudeau stated that $155 billion worth of American goods will be affected with $30 billion of those products subject to tariffs on Feb. 4th and the remainder 21 days later to give Canadian businesses more time to seek alternatives.
The list of products expected to be affected include a large swath of product categories including:
- Beer, wine, seltzer and spirits
- Fruits and vegetables
- Florida orange juice and other non alcoholic beverages
- Clothing
- Sports equipment
- Furniture
- Household appliances
Ontario Premier Doug Ford already announced that American-made products will no longer be sold at the LCBO as of Feb. 4th suggesting that businesses have further options to restrict access to U.S. made products beyond tariff-related measures.
