I could see it for appliances, electronics or cars. Possibly coffee depending on how expensive your brand is since coffee is fairly small.
But the wood comes from Canada.![]()
America has commercial forests. Why are we importing wood from Canada for this?

Get ready to pay much higher prices for produce when there is no one to pick fruit and produce just rots in the fields. Get ready to pay twice for that new roof you need to put on your house and get ready to wait an extra few months to get that roof work scheduled, again because there aren't enough Americans willing to do the work. You're right, it's so terrible to have immigrants come here to actually do the work that keeps our nation running. Hopefully Trump will at least enable and encourage a real legislative solution.
There are people to hire, but "the nobody wants to work anymore" crowd won't pay what people are willing to work for.
Which means, technically, that they don't have businesses. They have hobbies that they want other people to subsidize.
This. You have a pay a livable wage or people aren't going to work for you unless they are desperate.

Most TP sold in the US is made in the US. However we have a lot of butts. So, we import some of it. I actually don’t know what TP is made out of but I know Canada has a lot of softwood lumber.
I'm laughing at the butts-to-trees imbalance between the US and Canada and how this can be used to illustrate the real-world effects of economic trade theory.

The same reason we import electricity and oil & gas from Canada. They sell a different kind of product that is in demand in the US.
Tariffs have literally never worked. It made the great depression that much worse...so it's odd that here we are 100 years later implementing the same nonsense measures.
