…much has been said about the “trade wars.” But, tariffs are often misunderstood. What follows is an explainer of tariffs and their history. A tariff is a tax generally focused on the buyer of goods being imported into a country. The basic methodology was a then-and-now approach designed to slow down offshore commerce to spur domestic sourcing competition from domestic manufacturing and consumption. The first U.S. tariff imposed on imported goods was in 1798 under George Washington and primarily targeted spirits. Interestingly, Washington was our most significant producer of rye whisky, producing over 3,000 bottles annually. He instructed Alexander Hamilton,…

…have agreed to roll back some of the steep tariffs they placed on each other’s goods, giving both sides 90 days to cool tensions and continue negotiations. Under the deal, U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will drop from 145% to 30%, while China will cut its own tariffs on American goods from 125% to 10%. The change takes effect Wednesday and follows a weekend of intense talks in Geneva between trade officials from both countries. President Donald Trump’s 20% fentanyl-related tariff will stay in place, but most of the broader trade war measures will be temporarily relaxed. Related content Maintaining…

Although many of the “Liberation Day” tariffs that President Trump announced on April 2 have been postponed or reduced, tariffs on many imports are now 10% or higher, which is significantly higher than they were prior to the announced tariffs. Although these tariffs are causing many questions and issues for supply chain management generally, they also pose a number of unique concerns for companies certifying the country of origin of items under federal awards. Background on country-of-origin certifications under federal awards Many federal contracts and grants require the awardee to provide certifications about the country of origin of items used…

…first of each year, few shippers pay those list tariffs. Rather, they’re used as a base off which carriers aggressively discount their services. “It’s customer by customer, based on the data of that account,” says ODFL’s Plemmons. “We’re an open book when it comes to costing a particular account. There are ways to move costs out of the equation. It’s never a surprise to our customers when we secure a rate increase.” According to Plemmons, ODFL has averaged 4.5% rate increases over recent years. “We feel pretty good about where we are,” he adds. “And it speaks well to our…

…responsible outsourcing” (November 2017)—before the COVID pandemic and recent tariff activities. At the time, I felt that some outsourcing was necessary for global businesses, however, U.S. companies had over-outsourced. And that contributed to the middle-class angst that resulted in President Trump winning his first term in office. A discussion on the factors that lead executive management to be biased toward outsourcing was included in that column, it is updated herein. I also believed that a U.S. company is beholden to its home country, and when reasonable should keep manufacturing jobs in the U.S. The advice I provided to managers was…

…April, the United States announced a slew of reciprocal tariffs on almost all its trading partners. President Trump’s new trade policy aims to use these tariffs to help “rebuild the economy and restore national and economic security.” Yet, imposing tariffs will have long-ranging effects on international trade, supply chains, and global economics and may even incite a global tariff war. For example, powerful trade partners such as China, Canada, and the EU are already taking retaliatory measures. These actions will force companies to further fragment already splintered supply chains, increasing national inflationary pressures, straining geopolitical relationships, and leading to slower…
