【貿戰風雲】關稅戰衝擊!聖誕玩具恐短缺漲價




零售商擔心聖誕節玩具短缺因關稅凍結供應鏈

美國總統特朗普對中國的關稅政策正威脅著聖誕節的到來。玩具製造商、兒童商店和專業零售商在進口稅橫行的情況下,紛紛暫停了冬季假期的訂單。中國的工廠幾乎生產了美國市場上80%的玩具和90%的聖誕商品。

玩具、聖誕樹和裝飾品的生產通常在此時已經全面展開,因為製造、包裝和運輸到美國需要四到五個月的時間。然而,特朗普的145%關稅導致美國公司成本大幅上漲。許多企業家雖然尚未取消訂單,但他們希望總統能夠從關稅邊緣撤退。

行業內的警報聲音已經響起,許多公司預測產品短缺和價格上漲。一些商業業主甚至因假期銷售對他們的盈利至關重要而開始諮詢破產律師。

美國玩具協會的首席執行官Greg Ahearn表示:「我們的供應鏈凍結,這讓聖誕節的前景岌岌可危。如果我們不盡快開始生產,這個假期的玩具短缺可能性非常高。」

對於美國的聖誕產業來說,中國的製造速度和能力是無可匹敵的。玩具製造商每年都要大幅更新產品線,以適應兒童的變化需求。從材料到機械,中國的工廠是進口商的一站式服務中心。

Storytime Toys的創始人Kara Dyer通常會在四月的頭兩周向她的中國工廠下大訂單,以確保在七月中旬有足夠的庫存。聖誕假期大約佔她全年收入的三分之二。她在最新關稅前下了一個價值三萬美元的小訂單,從未預料到關稅會達到如此高的水平。該批貨物正在運往美國,預計到達時她將需支付四萬五千美元的關稅。這批貨物將為公司提供幾個月的庫存,她表示可能會將價格提高至少20%以彌補關稅成本,但她正在等待下大訂單。

在玩具協會對410家年銷售額低於1億美元的玩具製造商的調查中,超過60%的公司表示已經取消訂單,約50%的公司表示如果關稅持續,將在幾周或幾個月內倒閉。

紐約市的West Side Kids商店的店主Jennifer Bergman對於聖誕節可能沒有玩具可賣感到擔憂。而她能拿到的玩具價格可能會是去年的兩倍,這將壓縮她在一年中最重要時期的銷售。

Zuru Group的創始人Nick Mowbray表示,零售商並未下假期訂單。Zuru已將假期的營銷預算減半至六千萬美元,因為預計銷售量將減少。

特朗普最近對中國和關稅採取了和解的語氣,這讓一些業主燃起了希望,希望他能豁免那些不構成國家安全威脅的行業。玩具協會的Ahearn表示,他上週在華盛頓遊說,希望能獲得24個月的緩刑期,以便公司有時間在美國生產產品。

然而,即使特朗普給予進口商暫時的緩解,隨著公司匆忙履行訂單,也將會出現嚴重的中斷。運輸成本預計將激增,類似於疫情期間的狂潮,當時運輸集裝箱短缺導致貨運價格在某些情況下增加十倍。

對於洛杉磯的家居用品店Aldik Home來說,聖誕節是一年中最繁忙的時期。它在年底三個月內產生了超過三分之二的年銷售額,銷售人造聖誕樹、花環、裝飾品、燈飾和其他裝飾品。

店主Larry Gold表示,他與一家中國工廠合作多年設計聖誕樹。今年,他計劃從中國運送七個40英尺的集裝箱,裝載價值六十萬美元的樹木。現行關稅將要求他一次支付近一百萬美元。

Gold先生表示:「我無法相信美國有任何從中國購買樹木的人會支付145%的關稅,因為他們永遠賣不出去。」

這篇文章揭示了全球供應鏈的複雜性和脆弱性,尤其是在國際貿易政策變化的情況下。對於香港這樣的國際城市,這種情況也可能影響我們的進口商品價格。我們需要重新思考如何減少對單一市場的依賴,並探索更多元化的供應來源,以應對未來可能的挑戰。這樣的事件再次提醒我們,全球化的經濟中,任何政策變動都可能引發連鎖反應,影響到最終消費者的生活。

Make this photo use ultra realistis  A man sitting at a futuristic desk, interacting with a large, modern holographic touchscreen display similar to the technology in the Iron Man movies. On the desk, there is an Iron Man gauntlet (Infinity Gauntlet) with all the Infinity Stones glowing on it. Next to the gauntlet, there is a plate of grilled corn on the cob (jagung bakar) and a coffee cup beside the plate. The desk area is clean and free of any cables. The overall setting should be a realistic and modern high-tech lab/room with Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Panther suits displayed in pods behind him. Cinematic lighting, hyper-realistic, high detail. Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A female model with sharp features, defined cheekbones, and intense, direct eye contact (though eyes are slightly in shadow from the hat).
• Aesthetic: Vintage fashion, Pin-up, 1950s/1960s style, high-glamour, summer resort wear.
• Lighting: Bright, harsh sunlight creating high contrast and crisp shadows. The light should perfectly illuminate the skin and the vibrant colors of the dress.
• Color Palette: Dominated by vibrant yellow, crisp white, and bold red, accented by deep black.
Specific Outfit & Details:
• Dress: A bright yellow halter-neck sundress with a classic white polka-dot pattern. It has a fitted, sweetheart neckline or bustier-style top that enhances the silhouette.
• Accessories:
• A very large, wide-brimmed sun hat in crisp white (or light straw/fabric) that casts a shadow over the upper face.
• A matching yellow polka-dot scarf tied closely around the neck (like an ascot or choker-style).
• Large, striking black statement earrings (circular, drop, or bead style).
• Bold red lipstick is a key feature, contrasting sharply with the yellow and white.
Technical/Camera Details:
• Shot: Close-up or medium-close-up portrait, focusing on the torso, neckline, face, and hat.
• Depth of Field: Shallow (low f-stop), with the model in sharp focus and the background slightly blurred (bokeh).
• Background: Out-of-focus, suggesting a bright outdoor location, with abstract shapes of boats/yachts (white and red accents visible) in a marina setting. Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.
The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.
Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.
The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.
The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.
Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.
Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.
Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.
Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness.
