Byrna Technologies CEO pleased with tariff impact on Chinese competitors

He was the CEO of BYRNA Technologies Inc. “Weeded” with some comprehensive definitions of the Trump administration on imports, as they made it difficult for Chinese competitors to sell “lower controls” ways for American consumers at low prices.

“People’s lives are at stake when they use our devices,” Gans told Fox News Digital. “I am not sure why people buy a cheap product when it comes to saving their lives … … with president Trump’s tariff by 60 %, 120 % or 140 % on these Chinese products, they can no longer sell them for prices without our cost to make the product.”

Fourteen countries were granted until August. 1 To negotiate commercial deals with the Trump administration or risk imposing high definitions.

Byrna Technologies Inc. – This creates non-deadly firearms and has a production facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana-has more than $ 100 million in sales in the past 12 months. Janz said that the company has sold more than 650,000 self -defense products, which has been used more than 5,000 times to prevent crimes such as driving and household conquests.

He said that the company is reformulating it greatly after realizing that US President Donald Trump is likely to impose great definitions if he was elected for a second period.

“Therefore, a year and a half ago, we may produce about 34 % of our components in the United States and 66 % abroad,” said Janz. “… throughout the year and a half last year, we transferred production to the United States so that 92 % of our supply chain today is locally, and only 8 % of countries outside the United States.”

While most BYRNA Technologies products are now American, part of its products are still imported from China. When these products were hit with great definitions – such as a 145 % tariff placed on all Chinese imports in April – Gans said some Chinese companies “ate an important part” of costs.

“Many Chinese companies are now quoting their prices in DDP – paid delivery fees,” he said. “So they are actually absorbing these definitions, and I think most people do not really understand it.”

“As you can see with the deals that are cut, they are reasonable and reasonable tariff structures,” said Janz. “It is really a profitable position for both sides.”

In April, Trump announced the “mutual” tariff policy under which the American tariff depends on goods imported from foreign countries on the volume of bilateral trade deficit in America with those countries.
