What Q4’s Tariff Shifts Mean for Your Sourcing Strategy
This update supplements the original LogicSource 2025 Tariff Impact Analysis. For detailed category-specific impacts and baseline analysis, please refer to the original report or visit the Tariff Report Library.
Tariff activity has evolved from sweeping hikes to targeted strikes on lumber, trucks, and cargo equipment, while major trading partners like Brazil face steeper import tariff rates by country. Canada’s tariff jumped to 35%, and threatened 100% tariffs loom over Chinese imports, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors.
The impact of tariffs on supply chains is immediate and measurable. Import costs are up 4%, GDP growth has slowed 0.5 points, and procurement teams face escalating costs across facilities, IT hardware, transportation, and utilities. With global supply chain risk factors now in play, proactive mitigation is critical — especially for indirect spend management categories like utilities, MRO supplies, and IT infrastructure.
Our report covers:
- Tariff actions and threats since mid-August, including reciprocal rates on 60+ countries
- Category-specific cost impacts with procurement outcomes across facilities, IT, logistics and utilities
- Proven tariff mitigation strategies with real-world application
