Donald Trump's recent tariffs on over 180 countries include significant levies targeting key fashion manufacturing regions. The tariffs impose a general 10% duty on imports but escalate to higher rates for countries with substantial trade deficits relevant to fashion supply chains. Countries like China and Vietnam face drastically higher tariffs, impacting brands that rely on outsourcing. The situation's complexity is compounded by the mixed origins of fashion products, making it difficult to ascertain exact tariff implications for final goods. The US's reliance on imported apparel adds urgency to understanding these developments amid ongoing industry challenges.
"It is unclear what duties apply to a finished product. Products are not made in one place, Martinetto says. You could have fabrics that come from Italy."
"Trump's liberation day tariffs included a 10% duty on all imports to the US but worst offender countries face a higher rate, with severe tariffs on major manufacturing nations."
