These trade wars began. On the weekend, President Trump fulfilled his promise to levy 25 % tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, and levied 10 % of tariffs on imported goods in China. Canada will be the 51st statement of them, and other insults to our closest allies, and will be fired with a 25 % tariff on American goods. We will go.
Gina Gagliano told many comic publishers that tariffs might mean that comics meant, which was not good. 25 % of growth is the cost of commodity, not the final price, but it will still lead to growth:
He told me that it was more complicated than this. “The total amount paid by the tariff is based on the customs value of items when importing, not the final retail value of the project. Customs value usually includes transportation and insurance other than materials and manufacturing. The value of 1.00 US dollars explains how to increase the tax rate on how to have a significant impact. Advings the increase in border costs double-In addition to paying $ 1 for the book itself, the publisher will also pay an additional $ 1 tariff, totaling $ 2.
His conclusion is: “This may lead to a sharp rise in sales prices.”
Gagliano’s work mainly talks with independent publishers printing books in China, but the impact on journal comics may be worse: most of them are printed in Canada, and even in the United States of comics use Canadian paper. It is expected that the price of journal comics will rise.
Given that in just two weeks after working, President Trump released the confusion of the U.S. government before, and it is unclear when the tariff will begin to have an impact on pricing (now they will take effect on Tuesday) -The said frankly to say frankly This is not only comics, but also food and energy, so people need many things to cut budgets.
In the past few weeks, we have been talking to many comic publishers, mainly about the impact of diamond bankruptcy-this has put DM in huge pressure. But now we start to hear new anxiety about tariffs.
To say that these uncertain and unprecedented times are a huge light description. The direct market and book publishing is about to change. With the development of them, we will continue to report them.
