Faced with the US policy of imposing tariffs, Chinese silicone product companies need to adopt proactive response strategies. Firstly, enterprises can reduce costs by optimizing production processes and improving production efficiency. Secondly, companies can seek new markets and reduce their dependence on the US market. For example, expanding into secondary markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia, or developing the domestic market.

In addition, companies can also negotiate with customers to jointly share the cost of tariffs. Mr. Luo, the head of a silicone products foreign trade enterprise in Guangdong, said that if the US raises tariffs to 20% and customers demand to share 10% of the cost, half of their ordinary silicone product lines will face the risk of production stoppage. Therefore, establishing a good cooperative relationship with customers and jointly coping with tariff pressure is the key to the survival and development of enterprises.
