Blood, a terrifying mask of a serial murderer, bloody sheets and cut legs – this is the assortment of a typical American store with articles for this most terrible holiday of the year. Unfortunately, the donald Trump's customs policy, who went crazy with the levels of the rates. Is this the end of the holiday that the whole world knows?
In April, President Donald Trump raised American duties on Chinese goods from 20 to 145 percent, to reduce it to 30 percent in May. This resulted in a part of the orders, because the stores decided that imports were too expensive. As a result – according to CNN News – Halloween supplies are smaller and the prices are higher.
According to the National Retail Federation this season, customers must prepare for record expenses that were estimated at $ 114.45 per person (more about $ 11 compared to the previous year). A disguise for a child in the style of Carl from the series “The Walking Dead” costs up to $ 50. The more that it is “disposable” clothing. Last year it was $ 10 cheaper.
Part of the Halloween products will not go down significantly, because they are produced not only in China, but also in Vietnam, India, Mexico or Great Britain. Some, however, will not appear on the shelves, because bringing them is simply unprofitable. An example is DEarly ecoractions, i.e. a clown holding a screaming child in a cage. During the previous holiday, this decoration cost $ 399. Currently, its price – if store owners decided to order it – would be $ 600.
As Trump pointed out, introducing new rules regarding customs policy, that real prosperity is “good jobs” and “flowering industry”, and not “cheap Chinese imports”. America First was supposed to benefit the Americans, but as Halloween shows – not necessarily. The importers of “terrible” products say simply: “It is not Chinese companies who pay for them, but we and our clients.”
If you really want the production to come back to us, you need to think about why it has left it and start it – suggest the owners of Halloween businesses in CNN News. – Then you should encourage companies to produce, and not punish others for using foreign factories, since ours do not exist – they add.
