What China Tariff’s Mean to the Supply-Chain

Newly imposed Tariffs from China will cause a major economic hit everyone, from the home builder to the end consumer as the new 25% tariffs will create an upset to our economy.  Those in charge of sourcing supplies, parts, ingredients furniture, building supplies will face a major balancing act when it comes to planning their orders, ensuring they can stay in their budgets.

These tariffs, as high as 25%, will result in fewer sales as suppliers will have to increase their prices to accommodate this new tax.  We, as creatures of habit, don’t often “think outside of the box” when it comes to business obstacles such as these.

We’ve enjoyed the lower prices from China for many years now, and many businesses will say “We’ve always ordered our materials from China”.  What they don’t realize is there are many other Countries that can supply the same materials competitively.

What should you do as a supply-chain manager?

First, take a deep breath.  Hopefully you have built up your stock to satisfy current demand, and can raise prices slowly so you’re not taking a nosedive in this business.  If not, it’s always good to have a “Plan B”.

What is the “Plan B” and How can you Implement it?

WOAH! – China isn’t the only country that can supply you the goods you need.  However, yes, that does mean you have to start all over: find a reputable supplier, build your the new team in a new country, overcome communications issues and more.  You’ve done it once, and you can do it again.
