USA Tariffs how will it affect the UK.

Will the Trumps tariffs on China impact the cost of your new machine? 

In a word no! We have close ties with our manufacturers in China and our freight forwarders based here in the UK and China. We do not foresee any increase in our imports at this time. We are monitoring any impact on our service along with any fluctuations with shipping costs. At this point it appears that the USA will suffer far more China the longer this impasse continues, the tariffs may have backfired as USA ports and associated businesses as they have been hit by the downturn in shipping. We speak to our partners in China on a daily basis to ensure stability with in our service.

As the USA applies more pressure on China coupled with the lack of dialogue between the two leaders we are experiencing an upturn with manufactures looking for new markets in the UK. We are perfectly situated here for this with longstanding trading relationship already in place. New brands this week alone have been Zimo and Langfeite both specialising in ATVs. These brands are well known in the States and Canada, but new to the UK market. So we are pleased to have been contacted with an invitation to become exclusive promoters.

We will continue to work closely with our customers and ensure that any disruption and keep price hikes minimal. At this point it does not appear that President Xi Jinping of China has  approached Trump to resolve the matter, so we have a stalemate.

We shall continue to support our #Farmers
