Definitions that hit shoppers in Canada and the United States, with some prices in Loblaw stores, Walmart stores

The trip to the store is about to become more expensive for shoppers on both sides of the forty -ninth parallel, as pre -fire stocks are running out in Loblaw stores, and Walmart is scheduled to raise prices in the United States

Loblaw Cos said. Ltd. CEO of each bank on Wednesday in A. LinkedIn post The number of products damaged by tariffs in the grocery store can be declined soon, as the products that were brought to Canada are purchased before the start of the trade war from store shelves, which means that the prices for some elements will also rise.

Meanwhile, Wall Mart said it should raise prices in American stores due to the high costs of the customs tariff implemented by US President Donald Trump, after declaring its profit in the first quarter.

Loblaw has been aggressive in putting signs of products affected by definitions, a toll that is limited to just over 1000 elements. But this total will rise to more than 3000 during the next week or two weeks, and can reach more than 6000 in the next two months, according to the Bank’s post.

“While the set of customs tariffs may improve between the United States and other countries, this is not yet here in Canada. In fact, we will face a large wave of tariff increases in the coming weeks,” he said.

He said that the tariffs affected will continue to represent a small share of approximately 80,000 company storage elements, but customers will notice changes in categories such as natural foods, food stores, health and beauty products.

“It was a good idea to see Prime Minister (Mark) Carney and other leaders who are participating in a dialogue with American officials, as we all hope to cancel the rapid escalation of this situation.”

A bank also said that it is happy to see the federal government that has changed its anti -accusations of charges on the expired food products coming from the United States. In mid -April, the government announced several amendments to $ 60 billion in the counter -Events it announced in March, to reduce the burden on Canadian companies and consumers.

One of the main measures of groceries was a six -month suspension of anti -models on a wide range of American goods used in Canadian manufacturing and treatment and food packaging. This means, for example, that the Canadian company can import something like milk if it is used to create another product without additional anti -picnics, but this milk for retail sale will not be exempt.

Tony Stelo of Oxford Economy said that the changes mean that Canada has almost stopped almost all of its anti -tools. He said that the changes will reduce price pressures and bring an increased rate of effective tariffs on the United States to zero.

From the beginning, the anti -contrasts excluded the products such as lettuce, on which the Canadian market depends in particular.

Mike von Masso, a professor at the University of Gilf and the Food Economists, said that the anti -Canada carriers generally target elements that have alternatives produced in Canada, such as dairy, poultry and grains.

“They put them on things that were very alternative, so that if you are ready to make small changes, you will not be affected much,” he said. “Now, if you are specifically interested in cheddar from Wisconsin, its price will be high.”

He said that although many elements are not subjected to tariffs directly by Canada, there are indirect pressures from other regions, such as American metal definitions, and the general uncertainty caused by the trade war.

“Understanding with the United States (has) the ability to increase prices even in the absence of definitions.”

While Canada has added many exemptions to its counter -measures, it remains on prominent grocery materials such as orange juice and alcohol, as well as a group of other products, starting from uncooked pasta to Guinea birds in a glass jar.

Gary Sands, Vice President of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, says that price increases may be more cushioning in the rural and remote parts of Canada as the costs that consumers pay for goods are already higher.

“The influence of these anti -carriers is more important on these societies,” he told CBC News in an interview.

Walmart will try to maintain prices “as low as possible”: CEO

Wal -Mart has guaranteed hedges against some of the tariff threats. Two -thirds of the goods are obtained in the Walmart in the United States, where grocery stores are driving much. Grocery stores represent approximately 60 percent of the American Wall Mart works.

However, Walmart is not fortified and said that the high prices come even when the company works to absorb the costs of definitions.

“We will do our best to maintain our prices as low as possible, but given the volume of customs tariffs, even at the reduced levels that were announced this week, we were unable to absorb all pressure given the fact that the margins of narrow retail,” CEO Duj McMelon said in a statement.

He said that the price increases on the shelves would feel more training, but they have already started early in April, and they accelerated in May. The company said it focuses on returning receipts to school.

McMelon said that Wall Mart imports general goods from dozens of countries. But China, in particular, which was a pivotal point in Trump’s trade war, is a large part of size in some groups such as electronics and games.

He said that the customs tariff for countries such as Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia raises costs on groceries such as bananas, avocado, coffee and roses. Walmart says it accommodates the costs of general goods within departments and not after the increasing costs have passed in some cases.

Walmart also asks suppliers to change input materials for ingredients, for example, using glass fibers instead of aluminum, which Trump struck with tariffs in early March.

To date, Mattel, Xbox, Stanley Black & Decker and Procter & Gamble are some other major American companies that have announced the high prices or said they expected.
