Canada tariffs on toilet paper and 900 US goods to hit households in September

Canada will impose tariffs of 25 to 50 percent on nearly 900 American products, including toilet paper, starting in September in retaliation for U.S. levies on Canadian goods, potentially raising costs for U.S. households. Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled the list matching tariffs President Trump has placed on Canadian imports. Paper products already rose 25 percent last summer due to earlier U.S. tariffs, and the U.S. imported $328 million worth of toilet paper from Canada in 2024, its top source. The White House defended its trade stance, saying Canada relies heavily on U.S. market access. Trump called Canada one of the "worst countries" for American consumers, while facing criticism over affordability, with Americans using 141 toilet paper rolls annually on average.
