Our Tariff Advantage – 2025 PPE Import Strategy
Why Tariffs Matter for U.S. PPE Importers
The 2025 tariff hikes on Chinese-made personal protective equipment (PPE) have created a new challenge for U.S. buyers. With duties soaring up to 145% on PPE imports from China, hospitals, government agencies, and private distributors are now facing sharp cost increases.
If you're sourcing coveralls, gowns, or protective apparel from Asia, your landed cost just got significantly higher. At Steril Sağlık, we offer an affordable and compliant alternative — made-in-Turkey PPE, which is subject to only a 10% U.S. import tariff.
Turkey’s 10% Tariff – A Strategic Advantage for U.S. Buyers
Comparative Tariff Landscape
As part of the U.S. government's expanded trade restrictions, Chinese-origin PPE is now one of the most heavily penalized categories. In contrast, Turkey remains one of the few countries with a consistent 10% duty for PPE, offering significant savings to American buyers. Reuters has labeled Turkey the "best of the worst" in terms of remaining trade allies post-2025 tariff escalation.
What It Means for Your Procurement Budget
Choosing Turkish PPE over Chinese products allows your organization to:
-
Avoid inflated costs due to excessive tariffs.
-
Maintain or reduce your per-unit budget.
-
Increase order frequency thanks to predictable pricing.
Stay compliant with U.S. and EU standards.
