Impact on Business
For example, Apple's manufacturing shift from China to Vietnam demonstrates how companies adapt to tariff changes. Despite Vietnam's 46% tariff rate, companies may not pass the full cost to consumers, often absorbing part of the impact to maintain market share.
Due to Mexican avocado tariffs increasing from 0% to 25%, a typical avocado that costs $1.50 would increase to $1.88 after tariffs are applied. This could lead to higher prices for guacamole and avocado toast nationwide.
