- Failed trade talks between the United States and Canada have brought high tariffs onto paper products.
- The measures could raise prices for toilet paper, tissues and other goods in the United States.
- The impact reflects US reliance on Canadian imports of raw materials used in paper production.
The US-Canada trade war could soon reach one of the most ordinary purchases in American households: toilet paper.
After bilateral negotiations collapsed, high tariffs are also targeting paper products, according to the report. That could push up prices for toilet paper, tissues and other everyday goods.
The pressure is linked to US dependence on Canadian imports of raw materials. The dispute, previously framed around broader trade measures, may therefore become visible to consumers in routine shopping.
