How Tariffs Affect Businesses

Tariffs raise costs for companies that rely on imports 🏗️

For instance, if a U.S. electronics brand imports parts from another country, tariffs make those parts more expensive 💼

This can lower their profit margins or force them to raise prices for consumers 📉

Some companies may respond by changing suppliers, passing costs to customers, or moving production 🔄

Tariffs can reshape entire supply chains 🧩
