USTR to review China tariffs as Section 301 takes center stage
USTR is reviewing China tariffs from Trump's first term under Section 301 while launching new trade probes. The review could modify existing tariff rates on Chinese imports affecting product costs.
Tariff changes directly impact COGS for China-sourced inventory, creating pricing pressure or margin opportunities depending on review outcomes. Sellers should audit their China supplier exposure and prepare pricing strategies for potential tariff adjustments.
This fits broader US-China trade tensions that create ongoing supply chain cost volatility, forcing sellers to diversify sourcing or build tariff buffers into pricing strategies.
