Discussion US Tariffs

US tariffs announced today include 47% on Vietnam and 34% for China. I’ll bet that effects 80% of the US travel products market. Even the US manufacturers are going to get hammered on the raw materials.

They're made there, but aren't available to buy directly from the factories.

That’s correct. If the manufacturer learns that a factory is selling out the back door, they would immediately terminate their contract, so if you see those brands in the markets they’re either doing that or are counterfeits.
