Tariffs and Peak Markets: Navigating Uncertainty and Seeking Opportunities

Amid intensified volatility in the global trade environment and the dual waves of tariff policies and consumption upgrading, our company will break through by aligning market trends, tariff strategies, and premiumization pathways.

Supply Chain Restructuring:
Establish factories in free trade agreement regions (e.g., Southeast Asia or Mexico) to reduce tariff dependence on a single market.
Product Code Optimization:
Refine HS code classification—for example, splitting “solid wood dining tables” into “detachable components”—to potentially qualify for lower tax rates.
Customer Cost-Sharing Mechanism:
Include a “tariff fluctuation clause” in contracts, specifying cost-sharing ratios if tariffs exceed 5%, thereby enhancing partnership stability.

Four Key Breakthroughs in Premium Markets
1.Material Upgrading
Leverage eco-certifications (e.g. FSC wood, Greenguard) to command up to 30% price premiums in transatlantic markets.
2.Design Collaboration
Launch limited-edition collections with independent designers, adopting the “Designer Story” marketing model pioneered by Italian brands like Poliform.
3.Scenario-Based Solutions
Shift from selling single products to offering high-ASP bundles (e.g., “Smart Study Room Systems,” “Modular Living Room Packages”).
4.Post-Sale Financial Services
Introduce “3-year free maintenance + installment plans” to align with luxury clients’ service expectations.
