'A Matter of Survival': Small Businesses Speak Out on Tariffs

Tariffs are having a real and devastating impact on thousands of small businesses across the nation — and on all Americans — as uncertainty, rising costs and cancellations are hitting home.

Small businesses around the country are speaking out about tariffs — the months of worrying about levies and countermeasures, trying to prepare amid uncertainty, and the impacts that came into devastating focus when the Trump administration announced "reciprocal" tariffs on approximately $3 trillion of imports.

Many small businesses have shared stories of canceled bookings, rising costs, stockpiling supplies, and, ultimately, the fear of having to pass the cost of tariffs on to consumers. Or worse.

Even those that can pass the cost on to customers shared their concerns that the added costs will impact their ability to remain competitive and profitable — or to grow.

Here’s what American small businesses are saying about the impact of tariffs.
