The relentless whirl of US-China trade tariffs is back in 2026, posing renewed threats to your DTC margins. As a founder, you need to ask: Are your current logistics solutions prepared to withstand these economic shocks?
Recent tariffs have surged by 10-25% on myriad goods flowing from China to the US. Act now, or face razor-thin margins, or worse, eroded profitability. Keen DTC brands have successfully cushioned the blow by shifting more strategically towards optimized supply chains.
