U.S. tea imports surged in cost after 12% tariffs took effect in July 2025, hurting small businesses and disrupting supply chains.
U.S. tea importers and small businesses are facing rising costs and supply chain disruptions after President Donald Trump's administration imposed tariffs averaging over 12% in July 2025, up from near zero the previous year.
The surge led to more than $6 million in monthly import taxes—higher than any full year previously recorded—forcing price hikes, reduced product selections, and delayed hiring.
Despite a recent easing of some agricultural tariffs, much of next year’s tea supply has already been imported under the new rates, leaving businesses struggling with high costs and uncertain recovery.
Imported accessories and packaging remain affected, and the full economic impact is expected to linger for months.
