12. Cookware
You might pan the tariffs if you’re buying new cookware made with aluminum.
The Vollrath Co. in Wisconsin, which makes cookware and bakeware items, told CNBC it had begun importing aluminum from China after local mills couldn’t meet its demand.
The company’s chief financial officer, Steve Heun, says the tariffs and other duties will make its aluminum products at least 20 percent more expensive than those of its foreign rivals. The tariffs will increase the company’s costs as much as $6 million a year, he said.
