How Do Tariffs Affect Businesses in 2025?
  • Specific tariffs: These are flat fees charged per item. For example, if there’s a $10 tariff on imported laptops, you’ll pay $10 for each one—no matter how much it costs.
  • Ad valorem tariffs: These are percentage-based. So if a product is worth $100 and the ad valorem tariff is 15%, you'll pay $15 in taxes.
