Looking forward to July 4 fireworks? Tariffs may take the spark out of your fun
Briefly

This Fourth of July, Americans may face higher prices and limited availability of fireworks due to tariffs imposed on imports from China. With almost all consumer and professional-grade fireworks sourced from China, recent tariffs have led importers to halt deliveries and change pricing frequently. The American Pyrotechnics Association warns of product shortages, urging customers to shop early. Companies like the American Fireworks Company are adapting but expect volatility in pricing and supply as the holiday approaches, impacting celebrations across the nation.
I would anticipate that most people are going to get a little less bang for their bucks this year.
China is the global supplier of fireworks, with 99% of backyard consumer fireworks and 90% of professional displays made there.
