American consumers have begun to see tariff surcharges on shopping receipts, a direct consequence of ongoing trade tensions between the US and China. Despite a recent 90-day pause on tariffs by President Trump, import costs, particularly from China, are still affecting retail prices. Companies are implementing these surcharges as a way to address increased costs and to inform customers about the impact of tariffs. Notable voices include Alexandra Fine from Dame, highlighting the need for transparency, and Paul Virilli from Jan's Boutique, expressing hope for better US-China relations to stabilize prices.
"It doesn't cover the full cost-not even close-but it felt better than pretending everything's fine," Fine told WSJ.
"We hope China and the U.S.' relationship gets fixed and resolved so we can continue to sell this dress at the price it's marked at," Virilli told CBS News.
