Understanding Tariffs and Their Impact on Authors
Current discussions around tariffs indicate that books may be exempt from new tariffs being considered, particularly those coming from China. The information exemption allows books and printed materials to remain unaffected by these tariffs, which had previously included a 7.5% surcharge on imports. However, there is uncertainty about how tariffs imposed on raw materials used in printing may influence the final costs for authors and publishers. Stakeholders are advised to monitor the situation closely as changes could still occur, but for now, significant impacts on the publishing industry are not anticipated.
