• Trump's tariffs have led some companies to reveal that they plan to raise prices.
• Even before his so-called "Liberation Day," companies warned they would pass costs on to shoppers.
• Business Insider is tracking companies that have said they'll raise prices due to tariffs — and those that already have.

Prices are expected to go up this year as many companies signal plans to raise them in response to President Donald Trump's slew of tariffs.

While firms raise prices for many reasons, some were blaming price hikes on tariffs long before Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" on April 2. That's when he announced a 10% baseline tariff on imports from most countries, except Canada and Mexico, and a host of "reciprocal" tariffs on top of that.

The situation is fluid, as various countries continue to negotiate potential trade deals with the US. The Supreme Court heard arguments in November over whether Trump's tariffs can stand. Following the hearing, stocks got a boost as reports emerged that justices seemed skeptical of his power to impose the tariffs.

Abercrombie and Nike are already way overpriced and now they are upset because tariffs upset their profit margins. Goods like this are produced in the same factories overseas that make the Walmart brand products. Then they slap the premium label on and the price skyrockets for the consumer who thinks they’re getting a better product because of the namebrand. It’s all fake.
