How Tariffs will Change the Current Fashion Industry
📦 Description:
Tariffs jumped from 10% to 145% almost overnight—then dropped back to 30% after a 90-day pause agreement between the U.S. and China. But what does that actually mean for boutique owners?
In this episode, Adeel and Chansey break down the real impact of rising import tariffs on your buying strategy, pricing, and profitability. We’ll walk you through:
âś… How tariffs affect your landed cost and markup
✅ Why the 30% rate isn’t as temporary as it sounds
✅ What caused the spike—and why AI chip negotiations matter
✅ The myth of “Made in America” as a quick fix
âś… What smart boutique owners are doing to adapt right now
Whether you're running a fashion boutique, sourcing accessories, or managing inventory from China or other countries, this episode gives you the context and tools you need to protect your margins and plan smarter.
