Why exporting from the UK/EU may no longer be as viable—and what to do instead.
The Challenge: Higher Costs, Lower Margins
- With Trump’s new tariffs, many beauty brands will see profits shrink.
- U.S. retailers won’t absorb the extra costs, meaning higher prices for consumers.
- Brands risk losing market share to U.S. competitors with lower costs.
Solution: Build a U.S. Supply Chain
· Move manufacturing to the U.S. to eliminate tariffs.
· Use U.S. based warehouses to avoid import duties on bulk shipments.
· Work with local distributors to strengthen retail partnerships.
· Consider establishing a U.S. entity to facilitate operations and improve business efficiencies but be mindful of tax and regulatory implications.
