“All orders are normally finalized by mid -April,” Kun yingWhich runs a Christmas tree factory in Jinghua, Eastern China. He was told to Reuters, “But now … it is difficult to know if any orders are coming. Perhaps American customers will not buy anything this year.”
Across the festival supply chain, the manufacturers are reporting a stagnation. Jessica GuoIt is also located in Kinhua, stating that one of their major American buyers has stopped the order of just 3 million yuan ($ 408,191) after spending 400,000 yuan on the material.

Tariffs Dim Festive Cheer
American retailers have 87% source of their Christmas decoration from China, an amount of about $ 4 billion annually. Meanwhile, Chinese factory sells about half of their stock in the US market. This dependence on each other is now being tested by the growing trade war.
Now when Tariff is slapped on countries like Cambodia – which supplies only 5.5% of America’s Christmas decoration – shopkeepers in the US can be abandoned with vacant shelves and high prices.

‘We are a happy, joyful business’
Jami WarnerHead of the American Christmas Tree Association, says that the country lacks labor, skills and technology to do so.
“They certainly cannot be built in the United States,” he said. “There is no construction, technology is not here, labor market is not here.”
Warner estimates that the price growth is unavoidable and warns that there is “collateral damage” in the geo -political battle throughout the region.
“What our members make and sell are not strategic products,” he said. “We are not threatening. We are a happy, joyful business. We want to live in that joyful business.”
