  • Tariffs introduced by the Trump administration on Chinese fireworks are causing significant disruption for US suppliers and are expected to worsen by 2026.
  • With approximately 99 percent of US fireworks imported from China, businesses have struggled to navigate wildly fluctuating tariff rates, which have varied from 10 percent to 145 percent.
  • The industry anticipates severe challenges for the 250th anniversary of America’s founding in 2026, as high demand will coincide with ongoing supply chain issues and the impact of these tariffs.
  • Fireworks industry figures, including the National Fireworks Association, warn that low profit margins and production disruptions could jeopardize future celebratory displays.
  • The White House has defended the tariffs, asserting that patriotism should not rely on “cheap foreign-made firecrackers,” despite Trump's personal enjoyment of fireworks and a past exemption for them.
