It’s pretty wild how wide-ranging these tariffs affect small scale manufacturers with in and out of the United States.

I’ve been hearing scattered reports across different industries all saying the same thing:

1. They have 60 days or less of inventory remaining.
2. They cannot order more because nobody Stateside will pay for those items at prices increased to offset the tariffs.

For companies with razor thin margins, even 1% changes the calculus. A 145% tariff is already well over the point of no return.
