My small company pays almost a million dollars in tariffs a year at current rates. The only thing we can do is pass the cost onto our customers. We had to raise prices 20%. Most of our foreign suppliers have such small margins there is no way they can absorb any of the tariff burden.
We’ve tried to onshore as much as possible but there are things that you can’t do in the US for any less than 10x the price.
