Vermont exports $680 million in goods to Canada annually , according to data compiled by Connect2Canada .

Vermont imports more than $2.6 billion in goods from Canada each year , with electricity and fuel oil among the top imported goods.

Small businesses in Vermont are seeing some fallout as early as February when Trump announced a round of 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada .

A 25% tariff tacked onto imported products would inevitably have to be passed on to shoppers.

"We're going to pass on the tariff. We're not going to add a margin or anything like that, but a lot of these are low margin products," owner Sam Guy says.
