We understand there has been considerable confusion regarding the applicable tariff rates for products manufactured in China for delivery in the U.S. Currently, the products we supply from China are subject to the following tariffs:
Reciprocal Tariffs (2025) – 125%
Fentanyl Tariffs (2025) – 20%
Section 301 Tariffs (2018) – 25%
Material Tariffs (Pre-2018) – 0% to 7.5%
Total Tariffs – 170% to 177.5%
We know these added costs present significant challenges, and we want you to know we’re actively working to mitigate their impact.
For those who have orders in hand from China, thank you for working with us to explore options for these orders. Our Customer Service Representatives will be reaching out to you directly to discuss the specific tariffs associated with your order(s), along with potential opportunities for cost reduction. We remain committed to working closely with you to help manage these short-term costs while supporting your ongoing supply needs.
Moving forward, to reduce our reliance on Chinese manufacturing and mitigate tariff impacts, we have already shifted a large portion of our Premlene Sheet Rubber production outside of China. Additionally, we are expanding capacity in several other countries, including Canada, the U.S., India, South Korea, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Our team is working swiftly to secure reliable supply and ensure product quality that meets the high standards you expect.
While we remain hopeful that the U.S. and China will reach a resolution that benefits all parties, we’re not waiting on the sidelines. Our commitment to providing competitively priced, quality-produced materials remains stronger than ever. We’re here to help you stay well-stocked and competitive through it all.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We will continue to monitor tariff changes and bring you updated information as we learn about it. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
The GCP Team
