What happened
Tariffs on goods from China were set at 30 percent, though a later deal reduced this rate to 20 percent. New tariffs also apply to Southeast Asian sourcing regions, with goods from Vietnam facing a 20 percent tariff and those from Indonesia facing a 19 percent tariff. In response to these trade policies, Nike has been shifting manufacturing away from China to Vietnam, utilizing new trade deals.

Why it matters
The imposition of these tariffs has put pressure on footwear stocks, including Nike, Deckers, and On Holding. Nike's global production relies heavily on Vietnam, which accounted for 51 percent of its footwear production, followed by Indonesia at 28 percent and China at 17 percent. The policy changes are prompting a broader industry trend of shifting manufacturing bases away from China.
The industry trend of importers shifting manufacturing bases from China to Vietnam and India is being analyzed in light of Donald Trump's tariffs, with input from Capital Economics.
