Further price increases will result from the latest round of tariffs imposed by US president Donald Trump on China – though, for now, any downstream impact from tariffs on North American trading partners has again been delayed.
For US companies, a further 10% increase – likely passed on to consumers – will now be levied on imported Chinese products, including hardware and pre-made disposable devices. This 10% increase comes on top of last month’s 10% increase, which was added to a prior 35% tariff existent from 2018. The cumulative 55% price increase will make things more difficult for US vaping companies.
