As you know, we are a inflatable paddle board and kayak factory, products mianly export to US and EU market. Our mian order is from Amazon seller and traditional oversea SUP&kayak brand OEM production.
Crazy Trump latest added 245% tariff for China products, i have to say it has influence a lot for us, at least the shippig cost to US is increasing. Some tradional brand OEM order pause or reduce order, we and customer both wait and see what's next policy will be. Luckily, Amazon order do not reduce, still increasing and shipping normally, so we still busy on production....
I don't know who will pay the added tax, maybe seller and end customer both, maybe end customer only. Increasing tariffs and bring manufacturing back to US is a absolutely stupid idea, the biggest problem is not job oppotunity, the biggest problem is 10% rich guys get 90% richness of the country, and nobody dare say stop monoply, share chance to poor people, stop happy foolish education, open the path to high level class.... Even president, or will die. You see?
The next will be civil war or foreign war to transfer domestic pressure, the latter one chance higher. I don't wanna talk about polic, but it matters us, the whole world all lives in a vallage.
We've prepared export more products to other country with normal trade, for example, CA, EU, Middle East, RU, Mexico and Turkey.
Hope world peace.
