In today’s global economy, tariffs on imported goods can have a big impact on businesses of all sizes. Recent increases in tariffs on foreign-made paper products are making it more expensive for companies to source their packaging from overseas.

When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a great product – you’re also avoiding the added costs and uncertainty that come with tariffs on imported paper products. Let’s break down why choosing domestic manufacturing is the smarter, more sustainable choice.
Tariffs & Imported Paper Bags: A Costly Combo
The U.S. government has recently imposed or increased tariffs on a range of imported goods, including paper-based packaging materials from certain countries. These tariffs can lead to:
✔️ Higher Prices – Companies importing paper bags from overseas are now facing additional costs, which are often passed down to the customer.
✔️ Supply Chain Delays – With shipping costs rising and customs regulations tightening, businesses relying on imports are experiencing longer lead times.
✔️ Uncertainty – Tariff policies can change quickly, leaving companies vulnerable to sudden price spikes or supply chain disruptions.
If your business depends on reliable, cost-effective packaging, these tariffs could create unexpected challenges. But there’s good news: domestic manufacturers like GBM offer a stable, affordable alternative.
