Here at Javid, we understand the complexities of manufacturing in Mexico. Recent trade developments, including the United States' tariffs on Chinese goods and Mexico's subsequent tariffs, add another layer to this ever-evolving environment.
The new tariffs target a wide range of specific materials, including aero, aluminum, and textiles – all commonly used materials in manufacturing. The issue extends beyond where you source these materials; even if you purchase them from the US, there's a catch: if they originally came from China, they might still be subject to the Mexican tariffs since Mexico has imposed its tariffs on the specific products, irrespective of their country of origin. This can impact production costs for finished goods.
These tariffs have the potential to disrupt established supply chains, leading to a domino effect that could impact your bottom line and production timelines. Imported materials become more expensive, squeezing your profit margins. Trade restrictions can limit the availability of specific materials, causing production delays. Difficulty securing materials can further slowdownmanufacturing processes, impacting your ability to meet deadlines.
While navigating the world of tariffs and trade regulations can feel like a maze, Javid is here to do the work for you. We closely monitor trade developments and understand the implications for our clients. Here's how we can help you navigate this complex landscape:
