Sugar prices to increase due to 2019 USA/ China tariffs?
Posted by Douglas douglas@hummingbirdmarket.com on
Those of you who are feeding their birds cane sugar/ sucrose may want to purchase a little extra. Sugar prices will surely be going up based on the USA/ China tariffs. Any sugar components sourced in China and used by USA sugar refiners will increase in price and you can bet that any domestically refined sugar will match the higher the higher tariff prices.
I have not seen any reference to hummingbird feeders included in the tariffs.
The United States Trade Representative released a list of everything that will be affected in the September 01 and December 15 tariffs
These new tariffs could cost the average American one thousand dollars a year. Another round of tariffs on Chinese imports is set to go into effect December 15th.
