New York – President Donald Trump’s customs Crusade Crusade has aimed at a number of foreign products from European Wine and Mexico to foreign films. Recently, the President’s wandering Eryi has found another ornate poster child: toy dolls.
Trump seized that the US import tax taxes in the United States increase the price of customers instead of 30 – probably three or five – children will be good. His mems were included in the response to social media that a young baron was portrayed as a brief and picture of Trump’s baby -sized Mercedes convertible.
Jonathan Cathey, CEO of loyal issues, whose Los Angeles in Los Angeles created Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright Dolls, written in Linkdin. “If it doesn’t happen, shot through the echoes of history ‘let their cakes eat’?
The president’s comments also touched the nerves with the parents, both of which were casually committed crimes, assuming that “couples would spend more for two dolls” and those who recognized their own children have more toys than they need.
By the way, the Trump administration in the US toy industry has a lot of movement in the Trump administration and the government on a potential desk of the tariff standoff. About 80% of toys sold in the United States come from China.
The Toy Association, a trade group, the President has planned to immediately recover from the 145% tariff rate on Chinese -made products. Some toy companies warn that the possibility of a holiday shortage increases every week.
Here’s a snapshot of doll debate and how to influence toys:
From Barbie, Bratz and Cabbage Patch to children, Adora Baby Dolls, American Girls and Dolls up to our generation are a big business in the United States as well as favorite plathings in the United States.
According to the market research agency Circana, the doll division, which includes clothing -like accessories, was sold in the United States $ 2.7 billion last year and US sales in the United States compared to $ 1.5 billion in 20 years.
Customers spread to the toys during the height of the Covid epidemic to occupy the children and themselves, but the sales became flat as the inflation occupied the economy.
Marshal Cohen, chief of the SAARCana, said that the demand for small girls has also cooled the demand for makeup and skincare.
Matell, the country’s largest toy manufacturer, said it would increase the price to offset the higher expenses for some product sold in the United States this week.
The agency, whose brands include Barbie and American Girls, say that it was necessary to increase its production base outside China.
Small toys are expected to have a more difficult time than Matell and Hasbro, which makes the baby living in the drinking, drinking and diaper-vase. Kathy said that he had given a break in the shipment of loyal issues from China in April because he could not pay the stratospheric tariff they had spent.
“No one insists himself with so much cash,” he said.
Taking the value of about four months in hand, Kathy said that his skill to secure the Holiday stock depends on the break of the US-China trade standoff in the next two weeks as cargo operations will take time to resume.
Last year, the Missouri company Sepia, who was behind the pet, launched a 5 -inch fashion doll line, was launched last year. CEO James Russell Hornsby says he is working to transfer some production but this step will not happen on time to replace the orders that are planned to leave China.
Hornsby described himself as a supporter of Trump and said that he understands the administration’s desire to reduce trade imbalances.
“Let’s just complete the deals and stop all this because (Trump’s) disrupts Christmas,” he said.
Although American Girl launched a line based on the fictional historical character in 1986, dolls were never domestic products. They were made in Germany before leaving in China.
Toy experts say that in addition to low cost, Chinese factories have created strategies and skills that are not easily replicated.
“There is no ability to make roots in the US in the United States. And then you got things like the face, with some of them drawing, others are done with a tampo (printing) machine,” said James Jahan Doll-Meeking, editor of art publishing the Book.
Hornsby said that the Decora Girls’ dolls operates skilled workers at Guangzhou and Donguan factories in China, roots in synthetic hair.
“It is not just stuck in a machine and it does it automatically,” he said. “Literally 60% of the head is filled with hair, you need to know what you are doing to look like a whole hair to look like that doll.”
The White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said last week that he assumed that customers would prefer to pay more for American -made products. There may be lead paint among the dolls made in China, he said.
Teresa Mor, director of the US Public Surgeon Group Consumer Watchdog, says the film is even more complicated.
Mare said the products for children 12 years or younger needed third party exams and certificates from labs approved by the US Customer Products Commission, the agency responsible for applying lead levels to the agency toys.
He said that the rules are applicable to all the products sold by big brands like Fisher-Price, Matel, Hasbro and Lego, which are usually outsource in China, usually with consent, he said.
However, the rise of online shopping with e-commerce platforms that send directly to US customers from abroad, created a challenge, according to Mor. He said that these national parcels were not subject to the same investigation as the bulk imports when these national parcels entered US duty -free.
The White House removed the tariff discount from May 2 for low-value parcels originating in the mainland of China and Hong Kong. Excessive monitoring problems will make the flags easier by expecting US duty and border security.
Toy companies and industrial experts argue that high tariffs on Chinese imports will persuade price-sensitive buyers to search for cheap mesh toys that bear the risk of higher protection.
Lots of people agreed that American consumer culture has been out of hand, exotic factory workers earn a lot less than those in the United States because of low prices through labor
Senior marketer of Richmond, Virginia, and the parents of 2-year-old son, Katie Wally-Wagart (1), think that parents should be the best of their children when making decisions. He turned off the comments of the rich Trump.
“I think this is a small scene for children who buy toys for kids,” Wally-Wigart says.
San Francisco resident Ellenor Mak, who is his daughter, Jillian, founded the Asian American doll for 5 now, found the Jail Bing Doll Company, saying that the president’s comments were upset because some families even fight to buy a doll.
Trade war with China “makes it even more impossible for these families,” said Mak.
