Small and medium-sized US businesses stand at the intersection. Do you pay from China to import high customs duties or move the production of the US where the costs are sharply increasing? The founders of Plufl tried to produce their "human dog's bed" in the United States, but even without expensive coverage, the production price of every unit reached $ 100 in China. Costco rejects them not wanting to sell products at a higher price.
Other enterprises have also faced similar difficulties. Moment drink producer Aisha Chotan says that the price of his bubble drinks rose by 20%, from the Chinese import duties of aluminum. And Albertsons Supermarket rejected even a small increase in price. Some businesses, like Bugaboo, are trying to find new production locations in Asia or the United States, but it will take years, Reuters writes.
Meanwhile, the production of Emily Ley's Simplified Planners would cost three times more in the United States, buyers will simply not pay for a $ 100 paper diary. As a result, many continue to produce in China, reducing investments, salaries and advertising. The economists warn that customs policy is more damage to the customs policy than benefits.
