Plus Spanish wines, olive oil, cheese and iberian ham exports valued 1270 million Euro.

I assume that Canada and Russia will keep gladly buying this products as before, and that new channels will open with China and other Asian countries.

Is a probable outcome, yup. Or US citizens smuggling products across the frontier, The Simpson's style.

Taking in mind that those are among some of the most faked products in the world I would not surprise if a black market emerges to overcome regulation and somebody became pretty rich selling counterfeits.

Maybe US now will need a wall also in the North, who knows?. Other probably scenery is that a lot of US citizens start self-restricting themselves to consume only US products that is a perfectly respectable option also (but would increase pressure against US nature).
