Jing Gao, founder of Fly By Jing, has expressed serious concerns regarding the impact of tariffs on her Sichuan chili crisp business. Tariffs surged from 15% to 160%, affecting the affordability and accessibility of her products in the U.S. Gao emphasized that these tariffs not only affect her business but also severely impact small independent brands, hindering cultural exchange. Despite the challenges, Fly By Jing remains committed to sourcing ingredients from Sichuan and avoiding any disruptions to their supply chain, aiming to maintain the integrity and craftsmanship of their offerings.
The tariffs 'rob Americans of an accessible way to connect with and appreciate cultures at a time when we need it most,' she said.
These tariffs have a material impact - not just on our business but countless others, and are disproportionately impacting small, independent brands like ours.
Currently, no orders or shipments are on hold, and our priorities are continuing to source the ingredients for our core sauces from the Sichuan province.
The integrity of our ingredients, their specific terroir, and the craftsmanship of our products are highly local to Sichuan and will continue to be.
