If you’ve ever noticed a fuzzy felt lining on the sole of Converse All Stars, you might think it’s just a design choice. In reality, it’s tariff engineering.

Converse adds this felt to classify their sneakers as slippers, reducing import duties. This small tweak helps them avoid higher tariffs, cutting costs and keeping prices down.

Just a friendly reminder that smart production choices can make all the difference, especially in today’s tariff heavy environment. by @goimportal

With the recently announced tariffs, denim imports from China and Mexico, the second and third largest denim suppliers to the US, are about to get significantly more expensive.

Bangladesh, the top supplier, is in a prime position to capture more market share since its tariff structure is far more attractive for importers.

Importers and consumers, not the foreign manufacturer, pay tariffs directly. The country of origin feels the impact through lost export dollars as buyers shift sourcing to more cost effective suppliers. It’s safe to say we’ll see a similar pattern with denim products. by @goimportal
