Impact of Tariff Agreements on Sourcing and Pricing Strategy
The recent agreement to keep tariffs on European goods at 15% and eliminate tariffs on U.S. exports to Europe is a significant positive development for Interparfums.
This tariff agreement reduces the previously feared 30% to 50% tariffs, easing cost pressures and supply chain disruptions.
The company has already started moving towards alternative sourcing outside China to mitigate tariff impacts, especially for components like plastic caps and pumps.
Interparfums is implementing selective pricing increases, averaging around 2%, to offset higher tariffs, primarily in the U.S. where tariffs on finished goods are more impactful.
The company expects to absorb some short-term impacts from sourcing shifts and tariffs without major disruptions, thanks to proactive planning.
The improved trade environment provides greater clarity and supports the company's long-term sourcing and pricing strategies.
