The United States has imposed new tariffs of 20% on Chinese graphite imports in the first ten weeks of 2025 alone, with an additional 25% increase set for January 1, 2026—and potential further hikes possible even sooner—tightening the screws on this critical material’s supply chain. China has retaliated by making graphite export licenses harder to obtain, a move that could jolt U.S. manufacturers reliant on steady imports. American firms can turn to BABA Graphite to reinforce their supply chains, dodge tariffs, and shield against supply-side shocks, ensuring stability amid rising trade tensions. https://lnkd.in/dHUVPx4G
