Previous report
Changes in foreign trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business and financial performance.
Previous report
The U.S. government recently implemented significant trade policy and tariff actions, including but not limited to tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products, multiple tariffs on certain imports from China, tariffs on certain imports from Canada and Mexico, and baseline tariffs on most imports from most other countries. These actions have increased the cost of certain raw materials and components and created significant uncertainty and potential risks for our business. Certain countries have announced retaliatory tariffs in response to such actions. The U.S. government or other foreign governments may in the future propose and implement additional changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, taxes, and other government rules and regulations and, if initiated, retaliatory tariffs or other actions may be taken by certain governments. While the future financial impact of these actions and potential additional tariff actions and retaliatory actions by the U.S. or other countries remain unknown, the impacts could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.
