好囉 大家不要再用嘴巴遷工廠和換國家買囉 來看點實際的吧
美國中小企業的苦主囉
幫翻譯
他是老闆5-12月已經付給川普60K tariffs.
他知道有些人像是紡織類已經遷到越南等東南亞 因為中國本來就不是default 的產地
但是他的產業 中國是 go-to-guy
美國也有做一樣的東西 但是美國廠商只會鳥巨型客戶 不會鳥他這種3cm小咖
他也想過要遷廠 但是遷廠的成本太高
而且還要重新過認證 拿agreement
現在他只能自己吞下去或漲價囉

From May - December 31, I'm estimating a 60k loss for my business from these
tariffs.
At this point I'm so bitter about it I want to keep ordering from China just
to avoid giving Trump what he wants.
I buy a $10 product and market value is $20.
Original duties were 2.5%, so $0.25 extra cost
Then trumps 10% kicked in, so $0.25 + $1 extra cost
Now they're 25%, so $0.25 + $2.5 extra cost
With trumps duties
Profit goes from $9.75 to $7.25, a loss of $2.5 from duties. That $60k is a
direct loss of profit. Loss to me, loss to my employees. No, I'm not cutting
paychecks, but it is less money to go around.
Yeah I can cut costs elsewhere, I can raise prices, but unless the market
also raises prices, it comes with a risk.
All those losses added together for the rest of the year look like they're
going to add up to $60k. I just placed a bunch of huge orders last month, so
that number is deceptively low. It would be more like $85k if I didnt do
re-orders just last month. Not what I needed right now.
The most frustrating part is that I didnt do anything. I'm not losing money
due to a bad business decision. I'm not losing money because a competitor is
kicking my ass and I need to step it up a notch.
In my space, China is the go-to.
American manufacturers dont want to deal with anyone who isnt huge. If you
arent some gigantic business ready to place million dollar orders (per
product), 95% of American manufacturers wont even respond to you.
Wholesalers, sure, but not manufacturers. Theres also the fact that if I went
American I'd be paying more for the product while saving on tariffs.
Its funny because for a gigantic company with loads of employees and
resources, even though it seems like itd be harder to switch, its actually
easier because you can delegate each little thing to someone. For me,
switching to another country would be hell. I'm not small enough for it to be
quick and easy, and I'm not big enough to delegate the task to 20 different
people.
