Your favorite products hit by Trump’s new 50% tariffs on Canada

Shots of Fireball could soon get pricier.

The Trump administration’s threatened 50% tariffs on some popular Canadian goods went into effect Saturday morning after trade talks with its northern ally fell apart the night before.

President Donald Trump first announced the new round of tariffs last month to “offset Canadian discrimination” against American cars, dairy, and alcohol.

US and Canadian officials had been working on a deal to avoid the tariffs all week. Trump said in a Truth Social post earlier in the week that the deal was close.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, however, announced in a statement released just before midnight on Friday that he was suspending trade negotiations after he said the United States proposed “last-minute changes” that were “unfair.”

“We have recognized from the beginning that America has changed, and that we will not return to our old relationship,” Carney wrote.

The new tariffs are the latest in the ongoing trade dispute between Canada and the United States. Trump first ordered new tariffs on Canadian goods in early 2025, to which Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs of its own.

The latest tariffs, which took effect at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, would apply to a wide range of goods, from beer, wine, and spirits to milk products and hockey equipment.

Here are the popular Canadian goods that could be affected.

Canadian whiskies and other alcohol

The list of affected items like beer, wine, and spirits, including the most popular alcohol Americans consume from north of the border: Canadian whisky.

Some of the most popular Canadian whisky brands that could be affected by the new tariffs include Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and Black Velvet.

Crystal Head Vodka, which comes in the signature skull bottle, is also made in Canada and could be affected.

While Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a product of the United States, it is made from Canadian whisky, which means it could be indirectly impacted by the tariffs.

The trade battle over booze between the two allies heated up last year after Trump’s initial tariffs. Most Canadian provinces pulled American-made alcohol from their shelves.

Hockey sticks and gloves

Hockey equipment, such as sticks and gloves, is on the list of affected products.

While several popular hockey equipment brands are based in Canada — including Bauer Hockey, CCM Hockey, and Sherwood — that does not mean their products will be affected.

Some Canada-based hockey brands make their products overseas, like in China and Vietnam, and therefore may not be subject to the new tariffs.

Some wooden hockey sticks from Sherwood are made in Canada, according to the brand, so it’s possible those products could be affected.

Dairy products

Various dairy products, such as milk, cream, and powdered dairy, are on the list of affected products.

Notably, cheese was not on the list. However, in announcing the tariffs, Trump said he was responding in part to Canada’s treatment of US-made cheese.

Motorcycles, honey, clothing, and much more

The long list of products affected by the new tariffs also includes motorcycles, honey, clothing, plants, essential oils, dog leashes, construction materials, paper, smartphones, and much more.
