(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump’s tariffs will hit Americans in the wallet as everyday items are likely to become more expensive.
While some products, like Crayola crayons and Dawn dish soap, are made in the U.S., and many Americans have already tried to get ahead of tariffs when it comes to big purchases like cars and appliances, most will still need items that come from overseas.
While Trump has insisted that foreign countries pay tariffs, they are actually paid by U.S. importers, and economists say that the cost is usually passed on to consumers.

China has been hit particularly hard, with the new 34% tariff coming on top of an existing 20% duty for a total 54% tariff.
Here are some things that might cost you more:
Coffee
Waking up in the morning might get a little rougher or at least more expensive. The U.S. imports most of its coffee from Brazil and Colombia, which will be subject to 10% tariffs. While Hawaii does grow coffee, Americans drink more than 200 times the amount that can be grown on the islands.
If you’re thinking of switching to tea for your caffeine boost, you’re also out of luck. The U.S. imports the majority of tea from countries receiving tariffs like Japan (24%), Argentina (10%), India (27%), China (54%) and Sri Lanka (44%).
Candy
Chocolate is another product that can’t be grown in the U.S. outside of Hawaii. The U.S. imports 80% of its cocoa beans from Latin American countries, which are hit with a 10% tariff.

If you’re not a chocolate fan, vanilla will also rise in price as most of it is imported from Madagascar, with a 47% tariff, and Indonesia, with a 32% tariff.
Sugar won’t make these price hikes any easier to swallow, with sugar imports also coming from Latin America as well as the Philippines, which will face an 18% tariff.
Clothes and shoes
As companies have moved away from producing clothes and shoes in China due to tensions between the two countries, they haven’t come back to the U.S.
Many retailers, including major brands like Nike and Steve Madden, have factories in Vietnam, which will have a 46% tariff, and Bangladesh, where products will have a 37% tariff.
Beauty products
Shea butter and cocoa butter, two key ingredients in many beauty products, come from Latin America and Africa, where most countries face a 10% tariff, and India, which will have a 27% tariff.
What are tariffs and how do they work?
Ingredients or products from Europe will also see a tariff of 20%.
Fruits
The U.S. imports a significant portion of fruits and vegetables, especially when it comes to tropical fruits, berries and out-of-season produce. Most of it comes from Mexico, where Trump has levied a 25% tariff, including 88% of all avocados (technically a fruit).
Ikea
Your go-to cheap furniture source won’t be so cheap anymore. Ikea is based in Sweden, which is part of the European Union and will be subject to a 20% tariff. Stock up on your ektorps and kallax while you can.
iPhones
Apple makes the majority of its phones in China, where they will face a 54% tariff. Other electronics are made in countries like Vietnam, which will face a 46% tariff.
Parts and metals used for electronic devices also come from around the globe and will face varying tariffs.
Barbie and Lego
Mattel warned that its toys, which include Hot Wheels, Barbie and American Girl dolls, will go up in price due to 54% tariffs on China.

Lego, popular with kids and adults alike, will also see a tariff of 20% since it comes from EU member Denmark.
Wine and Scotch
European-made wines from countries like France, with its long-prized vineyards, will face 20% EU tariffs, while Scotch whisky will face a 10% tariff.
The good news is there are American offerings to substitute, including wines from California and bourbon and whiskey from Kentucky and Tennessee (among other states).
Meat
Where’s the beef? Australia, apparently, which will face a 10% tariff. Luckily, imports constitute a relatively small percentage of beef consumed in the U.S., where we have plenty of homegrown cattle.
Feed for those cattle (along with other livestock) is often imported from various countries, which could drive up the price of U.S. meat as well.

Canada, which faces a 25% tariff, also imports meat to the U.S., including pork, which may get more expensive.
Eggs
The price of eggs made headlines before the election, and the Trump administration has touted lower wholesale prices.
However, those prices were achieved in part by importing eggs from Turkey, which will face a 10% tariff, and Canada, which is subject to a 25% tariff.
