But in early March, the distributor, who refused his name, stopped working in the deal, due to the increasing anti -American feelings in Canada.
“They were taught by a retailer to stop any American brand’s launch,” Hong said, referring to the distributor. “They told us that they will re -evaluate when the market conditions allow.”
“This is the type of turmoil that we have never expected,” Hong said. “I have never heard of this occurrence yet. It is definitely a lot of opposite winds.”
Retail shelves in Canada shows the impact of national consumerism in Canada, which imported approximately $ 350 billion of products from the United States in 2024, making it its largest commercial partner.
The imposition of US President Donald Trump to the Canada supplement, a 25 percent tax imposed on steel and aluminum from Canada, and threats to impose taxes on all other imports from the country, to bring together many Canadian shoppers to avoid American -made products.
Hong said that Parasol, who sells its products primarily via the Internet and in the targeted stores in the United States, was working to put signs of its packages in the French language to Canadian shoppers. She added that she has already started making decisions on the specified products that will be part of the Canadian distribution agreement now chosen.
