US retailers are issuing the same warning: American consumers will be seeing higher prices for items from China hit by the Trump administration tariffs that took effect on Sept 24.
The tariffs focus on thousands of items bought by American consumers, including clothes dryers, handbags, seafood, carpet, shampoo, hammers, baseball gloves, gift wrap and dog leashes.
"The entire retail industry will be hurt by tariffs," said Thomas Jordan, a spokesman from the National Retail Federation.
Unlike the tariff imposed earlier on industrial goods, the items on the Trump administration's most recent list focus on thousands of everyday household items bought by American consumers.
"The immediate impact will be to raise prices on consumers and tax American businesses and manufacturers."
