Shoppers may soon see higher prices on goods like shoes, toys, phones, and car seats as a result of President Trump's new tariffs on Chinese imports.

Trump said Thursday that he plans to impose 10% tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports - including footwear, apparel, electronics, and other consumer goods - on September 1.

Many retailers, including Walmart, have warned that higher tariffs on these items would force them to raise prices for consumers.

Shoppers can expect the biggest price increases on items that have a high share of sourcing from China, according to the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), a retail trade group.
