Concerns Over New Tariffs

The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, along with Spirits Canada and the Mexican Chamber of the Tequila Industry, has expressed deep concern over the recent imposition of US tariffs on imported spirits from Canada and Mexico. They believe these tariffs could significantly harm the spirits industry across North America.

Call for Constructive Dialogue

In a joint statement, the groups urged all parties involved to engage in constructive dialogue to address these concerns. They emphasized the importance of maintaining a thriving spirits industry and warned against the potential for retaliatory tariffs that could negatively impact the shared industry.

Details of the Tariffs

The White House announced that President Trump is imposing a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, and a 10% tariff on energy resources. These measures have sparked concerns among industry leaders about the future of trade relations and the economic impact on the spirits industry.
