Is your business suffering from the tug-of-war between the USA & China? Is your gross margin being eroded by the tariffs? Then we have a cure for what ails you!
In the latest round of the US – China trade dispute, the United States has imposed a 25% tariff on a variety of goods made in China (and vice-a-versa). If your company is involved in electronics manufacturing and importing into the US, then your goods are subject to this tariff, or likely will be in the near future.
What choices do you have? Either pay the tariff, or pass the cost of the tariff on to your customer. Neither are good choices. But, wait . . . there are other options that you may, or may not, be thinking about:
Do you have existing manufacturing lines in China? Are you thinking about relocating them to another country? Then, we’ve got you covered in more ways than one . . .
