The Trump administration’s 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, as well as an increase in the China levy, took effect just after midnight on Tuesday morning.

Those three countries are the U.S.’s top trading partners, and Maryland — home to one of the nation’s busiest car ports — could feel the effects of tariffs in the form of higher retail prices, reciprocal tariffs and less trade.

Overall, Maryland imports roughly $4 billion in products from Mexico and $3 billion from Canada each year, according to those countries’ U.S. embassies.

Here are the products flowing from Canada and Mexico into Maryland:
