Jiayuan Tackles U.S. Tariff Challenges, Pursues Diversification

Supply Chain & U.S. Trade Uncertainty Drive New Strategies

Author: Sarah

Navigating Unprecedented Challenges

Jining, Shandong — As a leading manufacturer in the home goods sector, Jiayuan Plastics Technology Co., Ltd. has always been committed to providing high-quality shower curtains, mattress protectors, tablecloths, and other products to customers worldwide. The U.S. market has long been one of the company's most important export markets. However, with the U.S. government's imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods and changes in trade policy, we are now facing unprecedented challenges.

We fully understand that U.S. businesses are also dealing with the significant cost pressures resulting from these tariff policies, which create a dual challenge for both our company and our U.S. partners. To navigate these uncertainties and ensure the company's continued growth while maintaining stable relationships with long-term partners, we are actively exploring new strategic pathways. These include accelerating the construction of our new factory in Cambodia, expanding supply chain flexibility, and exploring more market opportunities to mitigate the negative impacts of policy changes, while providing greater assurance for future collaboration.

Tariff Policy and Market Challenges

⚠️ Impact of U.S. Tariff Policies on Chinese Exporters

During President Trump's first term, due to China’s substantial trade surplus with the U.S., a two-year trade war was initiated, resulting in the imposition of tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods. These measures severely disrupted global supply chains and placed immense cost pressures on manufacturers worldwide, particularly for Chinese exporters like us. The tariff policies in the U.S. have directly impacted our export costs, significantly increasing the expenses involved in supplying products to the U.S. market.

⚠️ Challenges for U.S. Importers

However, this challenge is not limited to Chinese manufacturers. U.S. businesses are also facing rising import costs. U.S. companies have long relied on importing high-quality, competitively priced goods from China, and the changes in tariff policies have undoubtedly increased their operational costs, weakening their competitiveness in the global market. Both countries' supply chains are facing significant challenges in the short term, with global markets experiencing volatility.

⚠️ New Tariff Adjustments Under Trump's Second Term

With the commencement of Trump's second term, the policies have become even stricter. On February 1, 2025, the Trump administration announced an additional 10% tariff on all imported goods from China, effective from 12:01 AM Eastern Time on February 4, 2025. The new rule clearly states that goods originating from mainland China and Hong Kong will no longer be eligible for low-value tariff exemptions, even if the retail value is $800 or below and carried by an individual. The elimination of the low-value exemption means that these goods will be subject to regular import duties, Section 301 tariffs, and the newly imposed 10% tariff. This policy shift not only increases the cost for Chinese exporters but also means that U.S. importers will face higher procurement costs and more complex supply chain management.

Cambodia Factory: Seeking Solutions for Long-Term Partners

🌍 Expanding Production Flexibility and Mitigating Tariff Impact

In this complex international trade environment, Jiayuan Plastics Technology Co., Ltd. is determined to face these challenges alongside our U.S. partners. We recognize the difficulties that U.S. businesses face as a result of these policy changes, and we are taking a series of measures to help alleviate the pressure on our partners.

First, we are accelerating the construction of our factory in Cambodia, which is expected to be operational by the end of this year. This factory will offer us more production flexibility and help mitigate the impact of tariffs through the cost advantages of Southeast Asia. While the Cambodian supply chain is still in development, we are actively exploring local sourcing and alternative materials to reduce our reliance on Chinese raw materials.

🌍 Maintaining Long-Term Relationships with U.S. Partners

Second, despite the challenges posed by U.S. tariff policies, we remain committed to maintaining long-term, stable relationships with our U.S. partners. We will keep close communication with our U.S. clients, helping them understand the implications of the new policies and providing more customized solutions based on their needs to ensure stable order supply.

Proactive Strategy: Multi-Channel Development

In response to the current challenges, the company is implementing a series of proactive measures:

💡Optimizing Supply Chain and Production Layout

The construction of the Cambodia factory will provide the company with more efficient production capacity, utilizing Southeast Asia's low-cost advantages. However, we still need to diversify procurement sources and optimize the logistics network to resolve potential supply chain bottlenecks.

💡Expanding Market Channels

In addition to consolidating our U.S. market, we are also increasing efforts to expand into other international markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia, reducing dependence on a single market to ensure diverse revenue streams.

💡Enhancing Customer Communication and Transparency

We are committed to maintaining transparent communication with all customers, providing timely updates on how policy changes affect orders and deliveries, and ensuring stable product supply and excellent customer service during this transition period.

💡Technology and Innovation-Driven Growth

We are increasing investments in research and development to drive product innovation, enhance market competitiveness, and ensure that we maintain a leading position in the global market.
