One of a series of reports covering 80 manufacturing sectors and designed to provide a preliminary indication of Canadian export opportunities in the U.S. that may now exist as a result of the rising cost of offshore imports. Each sector report identifies the major products imported into the U.S. from developed countries, explores the effect that the devaluation of the U.S. dollar has had on the price of these imports, and indicates which of these products might provide Canadian suppliers with increased export opportunities in the U.S. The report also identifies some initial export leads for Canadian manufacturers, lists trade fairs and industry publications favoured by U.S. importers, examines the U.S. importers' perceptions of the impact of the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the U.S. on their purchases of Canadian products, and provides the relevant tariff tables outlining the implementation stages of the Free Trade Agreement.
