Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough made another appearance on Marketplace to discuss international trade and China tariffs that are still in place from the Trump era.
Gretchen commented on how the tariffs have made U.S. manufacturers more competitive. “These additional tariffs on everything, the additional duties on everything, gives the U.S. manufacturers a more level playing field,” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. Gretchen added, “The landed cost goes up on these imported goods, and therefore the U.S. manufacturer is able to better compete with them.”
