The indiscriminate imposition of tariffs by the United States poses challenges for our foreign trade enterprises, prompting many to seek new opportunities. Hangji Town in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province is renowned as the "toothbrush capital," with 1 out of every 3 toothbrushes worldwide coming from here. One local enterprise has a high proportion of foreign trade, with the US market accounting for 20%. With tariffs continuously increasing, American consumers can no longer afford to buy two toothbrushes, let alone one. As a result, one-fifth of the machinery in the company's factory is facing shutdown. The company's responsible person mentioned that he saw many domestic companies issuing a proposal to switch from exporting to domestic sales, so he sent emails to some of them. Unexpectedly, he received replies on the same day. From "disconnection" to "shelving," the company swiftly transitioned to a "new track" within 7 days.
