Great news for newspapers

NEWS ALERT FROM NNA

Newsprint not affected by increase in US tariff on Canadian imports

Yesterday, President Donald Trump announced an increase in the tariff on imports from Canada from 25 to 35%; however, the administration has confirmed this morning that the exemption for USMCA-compliant products will remain in force after the increase takes effect.

This means that at this time, newsprint from Canadian mills will NOT be subject to tariffs when the new rate takes effect.
