The news in Supply Chain and Fulfillment never sleeps! Coming in right before the holidays, there were huge changes in the IMMEX program around tariffs in Mexico, especially around apparel. We can help... and we can move quickly! In fact, we helped a 9-figure brand move to us just a week before BFCM and they were live and shipping for a massive peak season push. So we understand moving with a sense of urgency. And while we do support thousands of brands, we can handle complex, large company requirements. In fact, we have a customer with over 4,000 SKUs that has done >1M shipments/month! We have the infrastructure to support you! - Dozens of fulfillment centers in the US and another dozen around the world (Canada, UK, EU, Australia) - Omnichannel capabilities for direct-to-consumer, retail and wholesale, and marketplaces - A Customization Suite for custom packaging, marketing inserts, and gift notes Please let us know how we can help. We are working throughout the holidays! Lastly, if you weren't paying much attention to the tariffs news out of Mexico, please see below for some FAQs: 1. What happened? Mexico has imposed a 35% tariff on finished textile imports from countries without free trade agreements, like China. 2. Why did Mexico make this change? The goal is to encourage more domestic apparel manufacturing. The Mexican government wants U.S. customers to source from Mexican manufacturers instead of relying on low-cost imports from China. 3. Is this temporary? Not really. The tariff is set to remain in place until April 23, 2026. Given the long timeline, most brands that used IMMEX will look for alternative solutions now, rather than waiting to see if the tariff will be removed. 4. When does this take effect? The tariffs are already in effect. Any apparel shipments currently in transit to Mexico will be subject to the tariff when they arrive. 5. How will this impact the industry? - Brands relying on the IMMEX program will need to rethink supply chain strategies. - Expect a shift to sourcing from Mexico’s domestic textile industry or other countries with free trade agreements.
