Chinese suppliers absorb US tariff costs to maintain exports
Following shipment notices from major U.S. retailers like Walmart, some Chinese suppliers have resumed exports to the U.S., maintaining pre-tariff pricing despite the added duties, according to Jiemian News. However, in the highly competitive apparel sector, certain suppliers have received requests for price cuts of up to 30% from buyers. Amazon, which caters to a more price-sensitive customer base, is reportedly pressuring suppliers to lower prices and planning to display the added tariff costs directly on product pages.
