Wiped out: US faces surging toilet paper prices amid trade war with Canada

The United States will impose 25-50% tariffs on Canadian toilet-paper and tissue stocks starting 8 September, matching Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods; the U.S. imported $328 million of Canadian toilet paper in 2024, a key raw-material source for domestic brands. Additional tariffs hit Canadian liquor, dairy, seafood and auto parts, while Canada levies similar duties on U.S. dairy, cheese, fish and cars, escalating the trade war.
