Warning Trends
Elevated Tariffs are increasing prices for law enforcement, security and safety equipment
- On April 9, the Trump Administration announced a 90-day pause on the previously implemented country-specific tariffs and implemented a blanket 10.0% tariff rate on all imports in the interim. Additionally, on May 12 the administration lowered tariffs on most Chinese imports from 145.0% to 30.0% for 90 days.
- As a result, all foreign suppliers in law enforcement, security, and safety equipment face significantly increased costs when selling products to US buyers, and domestic manufacturers of these goods face higher costs when sourcing key inputs for these products.
- Countries such as China, Germany, Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam are leading sources of imports in this industry, providing high quantities of goods such as safes, locks, security cameras, security systems, and personal protective equipment.
- Elevated tariffs are likely to impact pricing and supply chains in this industry due to US reliance on imported manufactured goods, which gives foreign suppliers the leverage to pass through the costs of tariffs to buyers and domestic suppliers the leverage to raise prices.
- Consequently, the Yale Budget Lab projects a 5.8% average increase in metal product prices, impacting products such as security gates and safes, stemming from these tariffs. Electronic security devices, such as cameras or metal detectors. In the personal protective equipment market, prices are forecast to rise by between 6.4% and 16.9%.
