UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – Tariffs on imports from China and other countries have reduced holiday product variety and increased costs, with toy imports from China dropping 80%, industry leaders said.

- With tariff rates fluctuating, and a tariff truce expires on August 12, 2025, President Donald Trump's policies continue to shape the holiday season.

- Amid shifting tariffs, retailers are reducing catalogs and eliminating products, Dean Smith, co-owner of JaZams, said, to adapt to trade uncertainties.
