Last month, President Trump imposed tariffs with the goal of strengthening the international economic position of the United States and protecting its workers. He imposed a 10% tariff on all countries and an individualized reciprocal higher levy on those with which we have the largest trade deficits. If you rely on overseas packaging, these tariffs are probably a concern. They’re on consumers’ minds, too. Some have adopted the no-buy trend, a form of underconsumption core, while others are stocking up on tariffable items (like many businesses). Carow offers several ways to help you navigate tariffs, along with unique advantages.
Made-in-the-U.S. Products
For 37 years, we’ve manufactured many of our products in the U.S., including EuroDrop® dropper caps, dropper pipettes, adaptor caps and roll-on products. These premium products were always tariff-free, and purchasing them supports a U.S. business.
With Carow, proximity is never an issue. Should the need arise, we can visit your facility for testing and line trials and work with your engineers to offer assistance and suggestions on your machinery and process. Try getting that from an overseas supplier.
In-Stock Pre-Tariff Imports
We also have a large inventory of high-quality imported products, including glass bottles, Boston Rounds and dropper bottles — all at pre-tariff pricing, while supplies last. Like the items listed above, these are the products companies like yours want most.
Superior Alternatives
Looking to replace Chinese-sourced dispensing solutions? Is your overseas supplier extending lead times, or have the products you’re using become too expensive? Our experts can recommend similar, and often superior, tariff-free or lower-tariff replacements while ensuring a smooth transition and continued operational success.
Faster Delivery, Great Service
Count on us for short lead times from our domestic warehouses. Want to eliminate time zone and language challenges and receive unrivaled packaging expertise?

“I appreciate the benefit of offering U.S.-made products. Our short assembly lead times, in-stock options and low prices allow me to offer my customers the best packaging solutions. They appreciate the quality and durability of our products and the ability to support our local business. Recently, I was able to source a U.S.-made pipette component, eliminating a long wait time due to international shipping. The client was able to increase production times and get the packaging to market sooner!”
