Bryan Szeliga owns Fishtown Seafood and sells lots of delicious oysters! Many of his oysters come from Canada. Recently, the government put a tax (a tariff) on goods from Canada, making oysters more expensive. This is causing problems for Bryan and other businesses.
- A 25% tax was added to Canadian oysters.
- This made oysters more expensive for Bryan to buy.
- The tax was then temporarily removed, but may return.
- Bryan might need to use different oysters or raise prices.
| Fact | Number |
|---|---|
| Percentage of oysters from Canada | 60-70% |
| Tariff Percentage | 25% |
| Temporary Tariff Removal Duration (in months) | 1 |
