Over the past two weeks, Jim Coudal has been rushing orders to Canadian retailers from his Chicago warehouse ahead of new retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products.
Starting Sept. 8, Coudal’s company, Field Notes, which makes small pocket notebooks and memo books, will face a 50 per cent tariff when its products enter Canada, where they are sold by retailers including Toronto Pen Shoppe and Take Note Pens & Stationery Store.
