Disruption to the Maine Lobster Industry

Canada’s retaliatory list places a 25% tariff on live and frozen U.S. fish and seafood, specifically targeting lobster. "Double Tariff" Squeeze: Tariffs imposed on live exports moving into Canadian processing plants, combined with potential duties when processed meat returns across the border, threaten to price Maine harvesters out of key markets and slash dockside prices for local lobstermen. - SeafoodSource.

Strains on Forest Products, Pulp, and Paper Mills

Pulp & Paper Counter-Tariffs: Canada’s counter-tariffs impose duties of 25% to 50% on U.S. paper, tissue, and wood products. Maine mills rely on cross-border timber, wood chips, and pulp from Quebec and the Maritime provinces. Higher tariff walls in both directions disrupt the circular movement of lumber and paper packaging, increasing operating overhead for Maine’s legacy forestry sector - The Guardian.
