But we have answers! Our custom fasteners and smart machines solve these problems. We look at everything – from how parts are made to how you use them.

The Big Problem: Tariffs Hit Your Bottom Line

The US put big tariffs on Chinese parts. Now stamping parts cost 25% more ^1. This hurts your business.

Some facts:

• Stamping parts prices went up 18-22% after 2018 ^2
• Orders take 15% longer to arrive [^3]
• 68% of US makers had to make new deals with Chinese partners [^4]

Why This Matters to You

China makes most stamping parts because they cost less. But now:

1. You pay more
2. You wait longer
3. You have more paperwork

Your customers don’t care about these problems. They just want their parts!

How Smart Companies Are Fixing This

Ford moved 40% of their orders from China to other places. They saved $120 million each year! [^5]

• Cost less
• Ship faster
• Work better

5 Ways to Beat the Tariffs

1. Find New Suppliers

Look at these numbers:

Smart companies buy from many places now, not just China. This is called “China Plus One”.

2. Ask for Tariff Breaks

Some parts can get special breaks from tariffs. You can:

• Ask the USTR for help
• Change your part design to pay less tax

3. Use Special Trade Zones

Free Trade Zones let you wait to pay taxes. One small maker cut their costs by 18% this way! [^6]

4. Make Better Deals

Make your Chinese partners pay some of the tariff costs. 42% of US companies now make suppliers pay half or more of these costs [^4].

5. Bring Production Home

Some companies now make parts in the US or Mexico. This costs more at first but saves money later.

GM put $2 billion into a new plant in Ohio to make stamping parts [^7].
