An extensive review of millions of U.S. customs records from 2025, conducted by Infios, reveals a substantial transformation in supply chain execution due to the phenomenon known as 'tariff stacking.' This practice, where multiple tariffs are applied to a single product, has compelled businesses to re-evaluate their global sourcing and logistics strategies.
Tariff stacking involves the cumulative application of various duties, such as Section 301 tariffs, anti-dumping duties, and countervailing duties, on imported goods. This layered taxation can significantly increase the final cost of products, prompting importers to seek alternatives to mitigate these expenses. The Infios analysis highlights how companies responded to these financial pressures by adjusting their operational models.
