So, let's get started with the main article of this week:

If you’re a dropshipper in the US, you’ve probably heard about the new tariffs on products from China.

As of April 2025, the US government has placed massive import taxes (up to 145%) on most goods from China.

In simpler words, importing cheap items from China just got a lot more expensive.

That $10 gadget you used to sell might now cost $24 before you even add shipping.

And if you were used to the $800 “duty-free” loophole for small packages, that’s gone too.

Even the tiniest parcel from China is now taxed heavily and slowed down at customs.

In this article, we will explain exactly what’s happening, how it affects your business, and most importantly, what you can do to stay profitable.
