Newell Brands is seeking more clarity on how newly lowered U.S. tariffs will be applied before potentially resuming shipments of its Graco baby strollers and child car seats from China. The company had previously paused purchase orders on its China-made goods, primarily Graco baby products.
This operational decision was made to avoid 145% levies on shipments, as stated by CEO Chris Peterson last month. The uncertainty surrounding tariff application directly impacts Newell Brands' supply chain and product availability for its key baby segment.
The company's reliance on China for a significant portion of its baby gear, with 97% of U.S. strollers and 87% of U.S. car seats being China-sourced, makes tariff policy a critical factor for its business. Obtaining clarity on tariff rates is essential for Newell Brands to make informed decisions regarding its sourcing and shipping strategies.
