Tariffs are increasing the cost of internally-sourced parts, including ball bearings. For example, if you’re a U.S. company that’s buying aerospace bearings from overseas, your costs have probably increased because of the tariffs on imports
There are other costs to consider as well. Today, China owns or operates nearly 20% of the world’s shipping fleet. These vessels are subject to U.S. port fees, and many of America’s largest ports are facing congestion issues because of outdated infrastructure, labor shortages, and increased demand. Late shipments could cost your company opportunities and put existing projects at risk.
