These trade wars have begun. On weekends, President Trump promised to impose 25 % tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico, and to impose 10 % of the imports of China. Canada furiously raised the suggestions of being the 51st state, and other S humiliation for the once -to -the -long ally had a 25 % tariff on US products.
Gina Gagliano told many manga publishers about what customs mean to manga, but that’s all bad. The 25 % increase is based on the cost of the product, not the final price, but it still leads to an increase.
He told me that it was a little more complicated. “The total amount paid by tariffs is based on customs value when items are imported, not the ultimate retail price of the item. Costs other than materials and manufacturing are usually used. Including, the current law of $ 1.00 to keep the value of $ 1.00 has a significant impact. In addition, the tariff rate is 1.075 in total to 7.5 cents ($ 1.00 x .075). In addition to paying $ 1 itself, the publisher also pays $ 1 for a total of $ 1.
His conclusion: “This will probably lead to a significant rise in selling prices.”
Gagliano’s work talked to Indie Publishers who are primarily printing books in China, but the impact on regular manga may worsen. Expect the price of regular comics.
In just two weeks, it is not clear when President Trump has released that he has never seen chaos in the US government (it will come into effect on Tuesday). I’m planning) -And frankly, it’s not just a manga, but also food and energy, so people will have a lot of things needed to cut out budgets.
I have also talked to many comics publishers for the past few weeks. This is mainly about the effects of diamond bankruptcy. But now we are starting to hear new concerns about tariffs.
The fact that these are uncertain and unprecedented times are a major modest expression. Direct market and book publishing are about to be changed. We will continue to report as it expands.
