The Trump administration is reportedly considering exempting essential children's items, including car seats, baby strollers, and cribs, from tariffs on China. These tariffs are currently as high as 145%, posing a significant cost burden on manufacturers and consumers.
This potential exemption could have a substantial positive impact on Newell Brands, particularly its Baby business, which includes brands like Graco. The company's CEO, Chris Peterson, previously noted that 97% of U.S. strollers and 87% of U.S. car seats are sourced from China.
A tariff exemption would alleviate considerable financial pressure on Newell Brands' baby product segment, potentially improving profitability and reducing consumer prices. The company has been actively lobbying for such exemptions, highlighting the critical nature of these products for families.
