The Trade Reset Has Begun
The latest round of tariffs, particularly those on Chinese imports, and the end of the $800 de minimis rule, means that brands are facing:
- Higher costs on core products
- Longer lead times due to logistics constraints
- Reduced margin headroom for growth and marketing
- Greater price sensitivity from end consumers
If you haven’t adapted your sourcing, pricing, and customer messaging yet, now is the time.
Here’s How The Brands We Work With Are Staying Ahead
Rebuilding the Supply Chain
- Starting to think about shifting sourcing from China to Mexico, Vietnam, or U.S.-based suppliers
- Importing in bulk to U.S. warehouses to reduce per-item tariffs
- Using Foreign Trade Zones, bonded warehouses, or 3PLs to defer or reduce duties
Here’s How Domaine is Helping Our Clients
Smarter Pricing Strategies
- A/B testing pricing to find tariff-absorbing SKUs
- Adding transparent “Tariff Fee” line items at checkout
- Bundling products to spread tariff impact
Marketing That Builds Trust
- Sending honest price-increase emails before tariff hikes
- Promoting “Made in USA” products as a value signal

This solution is for brands looking to add a tariff fee into the cart during checkout, which can be calculated as either a fixed fee per line item or a percentage-based fee on the cart subtotal.
