US businesses that rely on Chinese imports express relief and anxiety over tariff pause

  • In May 2025, the U.S. And China reached an agreement to temporarily halt their extremely high tariffs on each other's goods for a period of 90 days as trade discussions continue.
  • This agreement followed months of escalating tariffs initiated by President Trump, including a 145% duty on Chinese items imposed last month, causing widespread order delays and cancellations.
  • American small business owners like Jeremy Rice of a Kentucky home-décor shop and Eric Poses of a Miami game company expressed uncertainty about pricing and production due to the short 90-day pause.
  • Jonathan Silva of WS Game Company described the 30% tariff as progress but noted that the moment it was implemented was particularly challenging for placing orders, causing significant delays as they try to quickly resume operations with customers and factories.
  • Businesses remain cautious after praising the tariff relief, with many urging a longer plan to ensure stability and warning that the current pause leaves them facing continued uncertainty and high costs.
