It seems as if Liberation Day has been anything but liberating for those in the retail and foodservice industries. President Trump’s reciprocal tariff strategy launched on April 2 has led to buyers and brand-owners scrambling to adjust their sourcing practices in an effort  to minimize the impact on their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As some countries try to engage in bilateral negotiations to modify some of these tariff rates, and some exemptions are being made, the fluidity of the situation makes it difficult to predict what the final outcome of these tariffs will be. As a result, retailers and foodservice operators are now paying much closer attention to where their products and ingredients are coming from. To help in these efforts, RangeMe and ECRM launched its new TariffSmart Sourcing initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
