What tariffs mean for your luxury resale business

At LePrix, we know how critical reliable sourcing is to your resale business, and for many of our clients, Japan has been a trusted source for high-quality pre-owned luxury goods. However, with new U.S. tariffs being introduced, we want to keep you informed on how these changes might affect your inventory planning, pricing, and margins moving forward.

What you need to know

The U.S. government is implementing new tariffs on select imported goods and while not every category is impacted, luxury goods like leather bags, wallets, and accessories could now face additional import duties, which may raise the cost of sourcing.

These new tariffs could lead to:

• Higher import and landed costs
• Tighter profit margins on Japan-sourced inventory
• Potential delays due to increased customs screening
• A shift in sourcing strategies for cost control
