Tariffs: What are they? A tariff is described as a tax or duty to be paid on a particular class of imports or exports. Recently, there have been tariffs imposed on China by the US government, where increased taxes will be applied to exported products. But no need to worry because Prime Line has your back in shedding light on the current situation, and to offer better, alternative solutions.

Many packaging items like paper shopping bags, boxes, plastic shopping bags, as well as reusable tote bags are included on the tariff. Considering we have factories located all over the globe, we are able to find solutions and alternatives not affected by the tariffs. We are actively working with a list of countries overseas that specialize in cotton, plastic, paper and reusable materials for the best alternative.

However, any items subject to the tariffs will have a 10% increase applied to goods that have entered the United States after September 24, 2018. It is also possible that the tariffs will increase to 25% after the beginning of 2019.
