Tariffs recently levied on Canada and Mexico, along with new tariffs on China, have left manufacturers and retailers that import products from these countries calculating the extra costs they will have to pay, and how much might have to be passed onto consumers. It is a time of uncertainty and importers will be looking for alternative solutions. Savvy companies may turn to warehouse partners operating in foreign trade zones, like ASW, for relief.
Tariffs and other geopolitical issues can cause supply chain disruptions. One proactive approach is to have safety stock stored and ready to ship out. Having inventory on hand will give your company a competitive advantage. ASW operates a flexible warehouse model, meaning our clients only pay for the space they use without being chained to long-term contracts. Once the tariff issues resolve, inventory levels can be brought back down without repercussions. When another extended supply chain disruption is on the horizon, safety stock can again be ordered and stored with us, so that you are always prepared.
