The Impact of Tariff Adjustments on the Foreign Trade Industry
A Price War Behind the Numbers
Taking the US and EU markets as examples
- In 2023, the average tariff imposed by the US on Chinese goods reached 19.3%, significantly higher than the global average of 7.5%.
- In 2024, the EU launched the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), levying carbon taxes on products like steel and aluminum.
- India raised import duties on plastic packaging materials to 20% starting April 2024.
-
In 2025, the United States escalated trade tensions with China by implementing dramatic tariff hikes. Starting February 2025, the US imposed a 10% base tariff on all Chinese goods, and by April, tariffs on selected goods were raised to 54%, and in some cases, as high as 145%-the highest in recent history. Additionally, the US removed the de minimis exemption for imports under $800, dealing a major blow to cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Temu, Shein, and AliExpress.
These policies significantly increase export costs. For price-sensitive goods, even a 1% increase could lead customers to switch suppliers.
Client Case: From Price to Value
We once worked with a client from Turkey who previously sourced Stretch Film from Eastern Europe. However, rising energy costs in some Eastern European countries led to a significant increase in production expenses, and supply chain instability in the EU caused repeated delivery delays.
While searching for a new supplier, the client focused on two key criteria:
🔄Reliable raw material sourcing
🔄On-time delivery with customized packaging options
After sampling and a virtual factory audit, they chose us.
We provided them with:
High-quality raw materials
High-transparency Stretch Film made with ExxonMobil resins, comparable to their former EU supplier
Customised products
Custom logo labeling and carton sizing to suit their warehouse dimensions
Fast delivery
15-day lead time to align with their port clearance and logistics schedules
📦 The client later said, "This wasn't just changing a supplier - we found a reliable long-term partner."
