How much are these Trump tariffs going to affect drop shipping?
Tariffs?
Hi beckymonsen,
A recent executive order aims to close the "de minimis" loophole, which previously allowed packages valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free. This shift will significantly impact the dropshipping industry, especially for businesses shipping low-cost goods from countries like China.
What This Means for You
The removal of the de minimis exemption and new tariffs will reshape the dropshipping landscape. To stay profitable, businesses must adapt, explore new supplier options, and optimize logistics.
Let me know if you’d like more insights on supplier diversification or alternative shipping solutions! 
karen_salehoo Well that's disconcerting to hear. Should I try to find U.S. based suppliers? But they probably get their goods from China...
Hi beckmonsen, you’re absolutely right to be concerned—many U.S.-based suppliers still source their products from China, so price increases could impact them as well. However, there are still plenty of ways to adapt your dropshipping business to not just survive but thrive in this changing landscape like diversifying your supplier base, optimize your pricing & shipping strategy, strenghten your brand, to cite a few.
