The article discusses the concept of 'pink tariffs,' which impose a higher tax on women's clothing in the U.S. compared to comparable men's products. This long-standing issue leads to women paying significantly more for certain gendered products due to differential tariff rates. Research indicates that women face a 'gender surcharge' of at least $2 billion annually. Despite President Trump's overarching trade policies, pink tariffs remain intact, intensifying cost disparities for women, particularly in the current trade climate with China and elsewhere.
Women's clothing in the U.S. faces higher tariffs than men's, creating a 'pink tariff' that costs women at least $2 billion annually.
Tariffs introduced by Trump do not alter the existing pink tariffs, further burdening female consumers already paying more for similar products.
