Susan Collins, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/susan-collins-joe-manchin-maine-senate-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">who is facing<\/a><\/span> a tough reelection battle in the New England state.<\/p>\n<p>The items that are no longer subject to 50% tariffs include corrugated boxes, crates, plastic sacks, packing machinery, refrigeration equipment and seaweed, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026ModifyingAuto338.prc_.AnnexI-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White House proclamation<\/a>. Several new categories of Canadian products were slapped with 50% duties in exchange, including shampoo, vinyl flooring, coffins, carpets and window-unit air conditioners.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Collins <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collins.senate.gov\/newsroom\/after-discussions-with-cabinet-officials-senator-collins-announces-certain-tariff-exemptions-for-agricultural-producers-in-maine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> the carveouts will protect Maine farmers, including wild blueberry producers who rely on &#8220;specialized harvesting boxes from Canada,&#8221; and apple and potato farmers who also use Canadian products during the harvest.<\/p>\n<p>The senator, who is seeking a sixth term in a blue-leaning state, said she asked top Trump administration officials for &#8220;tariff relief for these important products.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These producers are a vital part of our state&#8217;s economy and support our rural and coastal communities,&#8221; Collins said. &#8220;Many of our farmers and growers rely on specialized equipment, packaging materials, and other products from Canada that are either unavailable from American suppliers or cannot be replaced without incurring significant expense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The products were previously included in the billions in Canadian imports that Mr. Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-set-to-impose-50-percent-tariffs-on-canada-after-failed-talks\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">hit with 50% tariffs in late August<\/a><\/span> after envoys from the two countries failed to strike a trade deal. Canada <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/canada-imposes-tariffs-us-imports\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">retaliated with steep tariffs on some U.S. goods<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump has argued the tariffs are necessary in order to resolve what he views as unfair trade practices by Canada. But the prospect of a trade war with one of the U.S.&#8217;s top trading partners \u2014 including steep duties on Canadian goods \u2014 has drawn pushback from some Republicans in an election year dominated by cost-of-living concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Collins has criticized the trade war \u2014 but emphasized that she has pushed for exemptions to help Maine, which borders Canada and is economically intertwined with the country.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Canada is not China. It is our neighbor, our friend, our closest ally and our biggest trading partner,&#8221; Collins said during a debate with <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/maine-senate-debate-collins-jackson-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Democratic opponent Troy Jackson<\/a><\/span> earlier this month, adding that she has &#8220;also been working behind the scenes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Collins pointed to previous tariff exemptions for road salt and pulp.<\/p>\n<p>But Democrats have argued that the powerful senator hasn&#8217;t done enough to press Mr. Trump to lift the tariffs entirely. During an early October debate, Jackson said: &#8220;What about everything else? I mean, we can&#8217;t eat road salt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tariffs-some-canadian-goods-susan-collins-maine\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump on Friday slashed tariffs on a handful of Canadian products that are used widely by Maine&#8217;s agricultural industry,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":105774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[971,756,8646,799,899],"class_list":["post-105773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-election","tag-maine","tag-susan-collins","tag-tariffs","tag-united-states-senate"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trump lifts 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods in boon to Maine Sen.
