If I were shipping stuff to the US from China, I would keep doing it as long as stuff gets ordered. I wouldn't be the one paying the tariffs, after all, so on that count nothing changes regardless of the tariff rate. The importers US-side pay the tariff, so the effect on me would be reduced orders, but there's no reason not to continue to fulfill whatever orders I get.
- matt-p 2y agoApologies, the implication is fuzzy there. I am thinking from the perspective of a multinational like for example apple who would be both exporter and importer. FOB shipping is typically only for smaller businesses.
- JohnFen 2y agoAh, the topic was shipping stuff from China to US, so that's the only aspect I was addressing. Although the same principle applies in reverse as well. > FOB shipping is typically only for smaller businesses. I wasn't thinking of FOB shipping specifically.
