US tariffs on Canadian goods could raise toilet paper prices

US tariffs on Canadian goods could trigger a significant price increase for toilet paper in the United States, following President Donald Trump's announcement of new trade penalties after failed negotiations. Canada is the largest foreign supplier of paper products to the US, accounting for about one-third of all imported paper goods, with $6.4 billion worth imported in 2025. The proposed tariffs of 25 to 50 percent could affect both imported paper and US-made products relying on Canadian materials. The US consumes more toilet paper than any other country, averaging 141 rolls per person annually. The tariffs are part of a broader dispute involving 900 Canadian products, and come amid ongoing US cost-of-living concerns.
