Signees in Their Own Words: Colorado

A small business owner in Colorado recently shared how rising tariffs are pushing them to the brink:

“Currently, our product category faces a 17.6% duty. The recent 90-day extension raised that to 27.6%, pushing our total import tax to nearly 30%.”

For small and mid-sized businesses, that kind of burden isn’t sustainable. They’re being forced to consider costly bank loans just to cover duties—before inventory even arrives.

“Tariffs have potentially fatal consequences. They’re not paid by foreign governments—they’re paid by us.”
