Tariffs Are Changing—Here’s What eCommerce Business Owners Need to Know

Big changes are coming to U.S. trade policy, and yep... they could totally shake up your product-based business. Whether you’re importing goods from China, selling to U.S. customers from overseas, or just trying to keep your margins intact—these new tariffs might hit closer to home than you think.

In this episode of the eCommerce Badassery Podcast, I’m breaking down the latest updates on Trump’s tariff changes, how they could impact your business, and what you can actually do about it.

I’ll walk you through what’s changing with the De Minimis exemption, what this means for small shippers, and why now’s the time to roll up your sleeves and get closer to your numbers, your products, and your customers.

We’re talking negotiation tactics, alternative sourcing strategies, and creative ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. I’m even sharing how I survived and thrived during the 2009 recession—because we’ve done hard before, and we can do it again.

Whether you manufacture overseas, ship internationally, or just want to stay one step ahead of the chaos... this is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What the latest U.S. tariff changes mean for product-based businesses

  • How the De Minimis exemption is changing—and why it matters

  • Real strategies to protect your margins (even if your costs go up)

  • How to negotiate smarter with suppliers and get creative with sourcing

  • Why expanding to international markets outside the U.S. might be your smartest move yet

  • And why now is the time to stay focused, not freak out
