When will the US start seeing impacts from Trump's tariffs?
- U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods, including a 145% levy starting April 2nd, are beginning to impact imports and supply chains by early May 2025.
- These tariffs stem from President Trump's trade war aimed at reducing imports from China, causing cancellations of about 30% of cargo bookings and delaying shipments.
- Companies reliant on Chinese imports face rising costs, supply bottlenecks, and are front-loading orders during a 90-day tariff reprieve while preparing for inventory challenges later this year.
- Experts warn imports may fall 7% annually with inflation and layoffs likely, and economist Steven Blitz calls extended tariffs potentially catastrophic for the U.S. economy.
- The unfolding supply shock could last through Christmas, forcing retailers and suppliers to adjust prices, shipping, and employment amid unpredictable economic conditions.
