Comparison of different sourcing strategies and their potential impact on costs across product categories. All costs are indexed to current costs (100).
Shifting to suppliers in countries with lower or no tariffs can reduce costs by 10-25% depending on the category.
Moving production in-house can reduce tariff exposure but requires capital investment and expertise.
Modifying products or supply chain to qualify for different tariff classifications or trade agreements.
Based on the analysis, we recommend a hybrid approach that combines alternative suppliers for textiles and electronics with tariff engineering for automotive components. This strategy offers the optimal balance of cost savings, implementation complexity, and risk mitigation. For chemicals, maintain current suppliers as the potential savings do not justify the switching costs.
