The effects of President Trump's tariffs are beginning to be felt in the musical instrument industry as prices on Behringer products rise by up to 70% in the US, according to reports on Reddit.
Trump signed an executive order to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China back in February, slapping a 10% tax on Chinese goods coming into the US. Earlier this month, that was doubled to 20%. As the majority of instruments and studio gear is manufactured in China, these tariffs are expected to have a significant impact on the industry.
