As each day goes by, small businesses are increasingly endangered by higher costs and interrupted supply chains that will cause irreparable harm. There is a growing chorus of small businesses speaking out about the costs and uncertainty of tariffs. They need relief fast.
While new trade deals that expand market access for U.S. companies and benefit American workers are negotiated, small businesses need immediate relief from these rising costs and supply chain disruptions.
The U.S. Chamber has asked the administration to:
- Grant automatic tariff exclusions for any small business importer.
- Provide tariff exclusions for all products that cannot be produced in the U.S. or are not readily available.
- Establish a process to apply for a tariff exclusion if a company can show that tariffs pose a risk to American jobs.
