Le Canada impose un droit de douane temporaire de 25% sur certains meubles en bois
world fr / draft
Canada has placed a temporary 25% tariff on certain wooden furniture, like cabinets and vanities, for up to 200 days. This is to protect Canadian companies while an investigation happens into whether foreign competition is unfairly hurting local businesses. Notably, the United States is excluded from this tariff, as are several other countries due to trade agreements. This means the measure isn't a direct response to U.S. tariffs. The government stated the industry is suffering, leading to this action. The key question is how this will affect prices and the furniture market.
