The US tariffs announced on 2 April 2025 will bring about changes to industries, economies, and trade relations. The proposed plan includes a 10% universal tariff on all imports, alongside targeted “reciprocal tariffs<\/a>” for over 60 key trade partners. These tariffs would be applied cumulatively\u2014meaning imports could be hit with both the universal 10% rate and additional country-specific levies, potentially raising costs significantly for businesses and consumers alike.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s blog, we take a look at what the tariffs mean for different industries and businesses, and how they can be better managed and calculated on your Infor CloudSuite system.<\/p>\n

Which industries will be particularly impacted by the tariffs?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The newly introduced tariffs are poised to impact a wide range of industries, from consumer electronics and automotive to retail, apparel, and food and beverage. With imported components and finished goods becoming significantly more expensive, sectors that rely heavily on global supply chains will be hit hardest. For example, electronics manufacturers that import semiconductors or apparel retailers sourcing from Asia will face increased input costs and supply disruptions.<\/p>\n

Businesses running on Infor CloudSuite\u2014particularly those in manufacturing, fashion, and food and beverage\u2014must be especially proactive. M3\u2019s integrated supply chain planning and cost analysis capabilities can help these organizations quickly model the financial impact of tariffs, adapt sourcing strategies, and make informed decisions to maintain profitability and competitiveness in a volatile trade environment.<\/p>\n

Calculating additional charges on Infor CloudSuite<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With the new tariffs, the imported goods will add increased charges to the total inventory cost. In general, costs incurred through duty\/customs are specified by HTS codes (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) based on the imported goods category. M3 stores HTS codes in the item facility record MMS003<\/strong>. With the introduction of additional tariffs, new tariff codes must be defined, stored, and used to calculate the increased import cost.<\/p>\n

The solution described here allows you to define multiple new tariff codes in M3 and to capture additional costs.<\/p>\n
