Graco stroller maker pauses China shipments, awaits tariff clarification
13.05.2025
Newell Brands, maker of Graco baby products, has temporarily halted shipments from China to avoid 145% U.S. tariffs. The company is now waiting for clear guidance on the updated tariff rules and is advocating for exemptions on essential baby items like strollers and car seats.
Inventory is secured through mid-summer for retailers like Walmart and Target, but prices have already risen by around 20%. Newell is actively lobbying for relief through trade groups and direct engagement.
