  • 5️⃣ With evolving U.S. tariff and trade regulations in 2025, wholesale distributors must stay sharp. While politics may drive policy, smart businesses prepare, adapt, and communicate. Here are the top 5 things Wholesale Distributors must know about 2025 Tariff Policies: 🔹 1. Tariff Volatility Is Back Fluctuating tariffs on goods from China and other key markets are expected throughout 2025. Be proactive in monitoring changes that impact your core SKUs, especially if you source parts, raw materials, or finished goods from affected regions. 🔹 2. Margins Will Shift, So Will Your Catalog Tariffs change landed costs. Review your pricing strategies now. Consider product substitutions or renegotiations with suppliers and brace for shifting customer demand based on new price dynamics. 🔹 3. Downstream Transparency Builds Loyalty Customers hate surprises. Use email, order acknowledgements, or your eCommerce portal to explain price changes related to tariff impacts. It’s not about passing the buck, it’s about passing the facts. 🔹 4. Your Manufacturers Should Be Allies, No Surprises Talk early and often. Collaborate with suppliers on forecasting, shared cost strategies, and alternative sourcing. Open dialogue helps reduce risk and secure supply. 🔹 5. Let Your ERP + Avalara Do the Heavy Lifting Infor CloudSuite Distribution and Avalara make it easier to manage PO Addons, automate tariff workflows, and stay compliant with tax and foreign trade regulations. One of our business consultants can show you how. Distributors are in a tough spot, but you don’t have to navigate this alone. Let’s get ahead of the curve together. Watch the replay of our webinar with Avalara: “Get Ready for 2025 Tax Changes, Tariffs, and Trade” 📺 https://lnkd.in/gADZhugH 🗣 Ready to review your ERP’s tariff setup? Let’s talk.
