Tariffs Impact Prices of Everyday Goods in the US

US consumers face potential price hikes on everyday products due to new tariffs, impacting popular items from Ray-Bans to Nespresso.

With new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, American buyers may encounter unexpected price increases on a variety of daily commodities. The tariffs extend beyond luxury items such as Champagne and Ferraris to include everyday goods like supermarket products, beauty supplies, and consumer electronics.

Iconic brands like Ray-Ban sunglasses, which are manufactured in Italy, could become more expensive due to a 20% tariff reciprocated by the EU. Similarly, Nestle´s Nespresso capsules are affected by a 31% tariff on imports from Switzerland, potentially raising coffee capsule prices.

China, a major producer and exporter of wigs, false eyelashes, and sex toys, faces tariffs of 34% that could impact US retail prices. Additionally, healthcare products such as Botox, which is manufactured in Ireland, may experience price hikes, affecting the cost of elective beauty treatments in the US.
