New Jersey Importer Sues Over 50% Tariffs on Canadian Cheese
What happened
A New Jersey-based food importer, Gellert Global Group, filed a lawsuit in U.S. trade court challenging 50 per cent tariffs imposed on a variety of Canadian products. The suit centers on goat cheese produced by Mariposa Dairy in Ontario. Gellert Global Group has been paying the 50 per cent tariff since it was imposed in late August.

Why it matters
Gellert Global Group estimates that it imports $80 million (U.S.) of Canadian cheese annually. The importer states that absorbing the 50 per cent tariff cost for an extended period is financially unsustainable for the firm.
