  • Some North Jersey firms are already stockpiling raw materials such as steel and copper to avoid the spike in costs from Trump's promised new tariffs.

The article from MSN discusses how New Jersey companies are preemptively stockpiling goods from China in anticipation of potential new tariffs that former President Donald Trump has promised to impose if he wins the 2024 election. Trump has proposed a 60% tariff on all Chinese imports, which has led businesses to increase their inventory to mitigate future cost increases. This stockpiling is driven by the uncertainty and the potential economic impact of such tariffs, with companies like those in the electronics and apparel sectors particularly affected. The strategy involves front-loading purchases to avoid higher costs, although it also ties up capital and increases storage needs. The article highlights the broader implications for supply chain management and the potential for increased prices for consumers if these tariffs are enacted.
