Concerned About Future Tariffs? Minimize Impact with the Right Strategy

As new trade policies bring heightened tariffs on imports from overseas locations like China, brands reliant on international supply chains may face challenges. For those managing or expanding retail store programs in the U.S., these shifts raise concerns about logistics, costs, and long-term strategy. The good news? There are solutions that sidestep these hurdles altogether, offering a tariff-free path to maintaining project timelines and budgets.

One of the lesser-known advantages in today’s shifting market is leveraging manufacturing hubs outside of China, such as Taiwan. Taiwan’s manufacturing sector not only avoids the tariffs impacting overseas goods but also provides proximity for faster shipping times to the U.S. market. Kingsmen, a global leader in retail design and rollout, has been manufacturing high-quality fixtures for over 30 years at its Taiwan facility—one of many worldwide—ensuring smooth, tariff-free production and distribution for retailers both domestically and internationally.

For brands facing budget concerns, potential delays, or who simply want to future-proof their expansion efforts, choosing the right manufacturing partner is a powerful way to stay agile. Kingsmen’s Taiwan facility has already delivered thousands of retail projects across sectors for some of the world’s most recognized brands. The facility has long been a trusted hub, one among Kingsmen’s many global resources, and remains a key partner in servicing large-scale retail programs without disruption.

As retail logistics evolve, adapting to changes while meeting customer expectations is critical. By leveraging Kingsmen’s distinguished experience and industry expertise, brands can assess their unique needs and receive tailored insights to determine the most effective strategy for their brand.
