President Donald Trump has increased the tariff rate on Canadian imports from 25% to 35%. The higher tariff went into effect on Friday (August 1). While the majority of goods entering the US market will avoid the price hikes — these products are exempt under a North American trade treaty — some haven't been so lucky (stock image) (Picture: Getty Images)

Furthermore, Canada launched counter-tariffs earlier this year on tens of billions of dollars worth of US products. Keen to see what's become more expensive for Canadians? Here's a list of the five everyday household and life-in-general products that have seen a price hike... (Picture: Getty Images)

1. New and used cars

Trump's administration has enforced a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars, imported engines and other car parts. This includes trucks, too. Manufacturers have also been hit by US metals tariffs and Andrew Barclay, an analyst with Statistics Canada, told BBC that costs went up more than 5% in June compared to last year. Canada has responded with similar tariffs. However, exemptions have been made for automakers who are compliant with a current North American free trade agreement. Plus, those who continue to manufacture in the country (Picture: Getty Images)

2. Fridges and washing machines

Canada added counter-tariffs on US-made washers, dryers, fridges and HVAC units. This was due to Trump raising tariffs on steel, making appliances that use steel more expensive in Canada. These actions have reportedly increased the prices of fridges and freezers in Canada by around 2%. Dishwashers and laundry machines have risen by 4.5% since last year. Despite this, not all appliances in Canada are made in the US, so there are ways to offset these tariff increases (Picture: Getty Images)

3. Canned soup and other groceries

Counter-tariffs by Canada were also placed on US food products, including peanut butter, ketchup, canned soup and fruit juice. Major Canadian grocery chain Loblaw has labelled 7,500 items with a 'T' in their stores to indicate how much more expensive the products are due to tariffs. These items have seen a 20% drop in sales, according to the Loblaw CEO. For example, canned soups rose in price by 8%, while fruit juices were up by 7.5%. In addition, soup cans have been affected due to Canada receiving the majority of its metal packaging from the US (Picture: Getty Images)

4. Housing and renovation

Canada added tariffs to carpets, flooring, and shingles. Canada’s housing agency, the Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC), has said that the ongoing trade war could slow the country's housing market. It predicted that provinces like Ontario could be worse affected (Picture: Getty Images)

5. Clothing and footwear

Clothes and shoes have seen a price increase, too. Canada has put tariffs on US clothing, but experts state the ongoing global trade war is the real reason for the hikes. China and Vietnam have experienced steep American tariffs, too, both of which are major manufacturing hubs (Picture: Getty Images)
