Due to newly implemented global tariffs—some reaching up to 46%—experts are urging American shoppers to act quickly before everyday essentials become more expensive. These trade changes, which took effect on April 5, are already impacting the stock market and are expected to drive up prices on a wide range of imported goods.
Items likely to be affected include bananas, avocados, coffee, tea, cars, furniture, washers, dryers, clothes, and toys—all commonly sourced from overseas. Financial analysts recommend stocking up on these products now to avoid paying more later as the new pricing structures begin to take hold.
