How to Navigate the Tariff Uncertainty!
4/15/2025
Are you tariffied? In a state of fear, anxiety or strategic panic in response to the sudden tariffs and the uncertainty about potential new tariff changes?
Rest assured you are not alone!
Ever since the Trump administration announced plans to introduce reciprocal tariffs on more than 180 countries, the global economies have seen strong reactions. While some of these have been paused and exemptions are being discussed, uncertainty remains.
It is easy to fall into a state of shock and paralysis in the light of the on-and-off-again tariffs. Still, there are things that you can do to prepare:
- Review Forecasts Early: Check what memory products you will need when – and keep in mind that rising prices might have an impact on your output levels. Share your revised volume expectations with us to secure allocation and buffer stock.
We create a tailored impact matrix assessing each supplier's exposure and work with you to adjust sourcing strategies accordingly.
- Consider Alternative Suppliers: Work with our team to qualify lower-exposure suppliers and products.Based on our extensive linecard, we can offer qualified alternatives from lower-exposure regions to ensure product availability and pricing flexibility.
- Build Strategic Inventory: Where feasible, build an inventory ahead of further pricing adjustments.Thanks to our three own warehouses we can build buffer stocks for high-risk lines to maintain short-term price and delivery consistency.
- Stay Informed: Subscribe to our newsletter and contact us with any urgent questions. We provide regular customer briefings, tariff bulletins, and real-time updates.
