Tariff policy on Chinese-origin goods has tightened steadily since 2018, and plastic packaging has not been spared. Jadewell's Vietnam facility in Hai Duong exists for exactly this reason. It runs the same tooling standards and material sourcing as our China plant, at a landed cost that avoids the steepest China-specific duties.
Lower Duties
Plastic packaging from Vietnam currently lands at roughly 13 to 14 percent in combined U.S. duty. The same goods sourced from China run 35 percent or higher once Section 301 and additional enforcement tariffs are added in.
Uncompromised Quality
Our Vietnam plant runs the same molds, resins, and quality checks as our China facility. Nothing about the product changes. Only the country of origin does.
Reliable Supply Chain
Two facilities, one standard of quality, and a team that stays responsive from first quote to final delivery, no matter which plant fills your order.
Tariff rates on Chinese and Vietnamese goods have shifted several times this year, with another change scheduled for late July 2026. Here is where things stood as of July 17, 2026, with sources.
The 10 Percent Baseline Tariff Sunsets July 24, 2026
The blanket 10 percent tariff added under Section 122 of the Trade Act expires by law after 150 days. It took effect February 24, 2026 and is scheduled to lapse July 24, 2026 unless Congress acts. The U.S. Court of International Trade already ruled the underlying emergency tariffs unlawful in May 2026. A Federal Circuit stay is the only thing keeping the rate in place today.

A 12.5 Percent Section 301 Tariff Is the Likely Replacement
The U.S. Trade Representative is expected to complete its review by July 20, 2026 and has proposed a 12.5 percent Section 301 duty on imports from 46 countries, including China, Vietnam, India, and Thailand. Section 301 carries no built-in expiration date, unlike the Section 122 tariff it would replace, which is likely why it was chosen.
