MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — New federal tariffs, a Baldwin County produce market, an expanded Macon business and an AT&T contest are among this week’s business updates. Tariff changes may impact key Georgia exports Georgia businesses are preparing for a shakeup as new federal tariffs on Canadian imports are set to take effect August 19. According to a new Georgia Chamber Foundation briefing, Canada remains Georgia’s largest export market, with $6.8 billion in exports last year. Industries such as construction materials, food processing, furniture, and logistics could face new costs as a result of the tariffs. The Foundation advises companies to review their supply chains and contracts, and to watch for updates as trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada continue.
