‘Very difficult’: Calgary jewelry maker set to lose customers amid trade war
Jewelry maker Cindy Baldassi says she is expecting to lose roughly half of her customers as the trade war between Canada and the United States heats up.
Calgary jewelry maker Cindy Baldassi anticipates losing around half her customers due to escalating tensions between Canada and the United States. Baldassi, whose online store, CindyLouWho2, specializes in sterling silver, stone, and dinosaur fossil jewelry, revealed that 75% of her buyers are American. The 50% tariff imposed on Canadian exports valued over $20 billion, including her products, is causing concern.
Baldassi has temporarily halted sales to the U.S., notifying American clients of the impending price surcharge and updating her website accordingly. Despite the challenges, she remains hopeful that increased support from Canadians will help mitigate the impact on her business.
