Local Fireworks Store Holds Prices Steady Despite Tariff Hikes

  • Amid impending tariff changes, a 125% reciprocal tariff takes effect July 9, potentially raising fireworks prices in Alabama for July 4th celebrations.
  • The sweeping tariff policy caused duties on Chinese fireworks to fluctuate from 10% to 145%, then drop to around 35%, disrupting shipments since February.
  • The U.S. relies on Chinese imports for 99% of fireworks, with paused orders causing port backups and rising shipping costs.
  • Fluctuating tariffs and import reliance have led to smaller celebrations and business closures, with families cutting shows and vendors struggling financially.
  • The 30% firework import tariff risks shutting small businesses and jeopardizing 2026 celebrations, with orders already made for the nation's 250th anniversary.
