U.S. trade groups warn that new tariffs on key exporters will lead to significant price increases on a broad range of clothing and footwear. The impending cost hikes are expected to affect everyday consumer items from sneakers to jeans, intensifying concerns over back-to-school pricing and altering market dynamics in the midst of broader trade policy debates.
About 97 per cent of the clothes and shoes purchased in the U.S. are imported, predominantly from Asia, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association
U.S. industry groups warn that new tariffs on exporters could significantly raise back-to-school clothing and footwear costs for families, as nearly all such products in the U.S. are imported.
US families may pay more for back-to-school clothes if Trump’s tariffs on key exporters go into effect, raising prices on nearly all U.S.-purchased clothing and footwear, according to industry groups.
