? 隨著唐納德·特朗普的關稅政策生效，美國在特定嬰兒用品領域對中國的過度依賴將加劇父母們的成本壓力,。例如,，美國97%的嬰兒車從中國進口，且相關企業(yè)正在大幅漲價,。
新生兒的父母不得不為各類必需品買單,，而關稅正推高他們的育兒成本。
與可推遲購買的高端寬屏電視不同,，對嬰兒用品的需求卻沒有那么靈活,，焦慮的父母擔憂新生兒安全或尋求安撫用品時，這類消費難以避免,。
育兒網(wǎng)站BabyCenter根據(jù)2月份的估算（當時特朗普尚未宣布全球“解放日”關稅政策并對中國商品征收145%關稅）,，得出首年育兒成本達20,384美元。
其中約半數(shù)支出用于兒童保育服務,，但超過2,000美元用于購買嬰兒用品,、服裝、活動設備和玩具等主要依賴進口的商品。
據(jù)美聯(lián)社援引美國青少年產品制造商協(xié)會（Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association）的數(shù)據(jù),，事實上,，90%的核心嬰兒護理產品及相關零部件產自亞洲，其中絕大部分來自中國,。
美國人口普查數(shù)據(jù)顯示,， 97%的進口嬰兒車來自中國。密歇根州立大學（Michigan State University）供應鏈管理教授杰森·米勒對CNN表示,，分別有99%,、96%和93%的進口兒童安全座椅、金屬兒童床和嬰兒鞋來自中國,。
據(jù)CNN報道,，嬰兒用品登記網(wǎng)站Babylist的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，嬰兒車和汽車安全座椅價格已分別平均上漲25%和20%,。
部分高端嬰兒車漲幅達數(shù)百美元,。如Uppababy品牌的Vista V3嬰兒車售價從900美元上漲至1,200美元。
與此同時,，美國市場近80%的玩具產自中國,，零售商警告稱缺貨潮即將到來，圣誕節(jié)將“面臨危機”,。
阿波羅（Apollo）首席經(jīng)濟學家托爾斯滕·斯洛克指出,，中國在煙花等進口商品領域占據(jù)統(tǒng)治地位。全美超90%的煙花依賴進口,，其中95%來自中國,。
斯洛克在上周日發(fā)布的題為《7月4日會有煙花嗎？》的研究報告中寫道：“美國進口的諸多商品類別都存在剛性需求,，而中國是這些商品的唯一供應國,。
關鍵在于，對于中國占主導地位的煙花等商品,，通脹將顯著攀升,。” （財富中文網(wǎng)）

? America’s overwhelming reliance on China for certain baby-related products will increase cost pressures on parents as President Donald Trump’s tariffs take hold. For example, 97% of baby carriages imported into the U.S. come from China, and companies are hiking prices.
Being a parent of a newborn means being forced to shell out for a wide array of essential products, and tariffs are making those costs go up.
Unlike a fancy wide-screen TV, which is something nice to have that can be put off, demand for baby gear is less flexible as frazzled parents worrying about their newborn’s safety or looking for products to calm them down are unable to avoid those purchases.
The BabyCenter, a parenting site, tallied up the expenses related to a baby’s first year and put them at $20,384, according to an estimate in February—before President Donald Trump unveiled his global “Liberation Day” tariffs and hit China with a 145% duty.
About half of those first-year costs are for childcare, but more than $2,000 comes from things that are largely imported, like baby gear, clothing, activity equipment, and toys.
In fact, 90% of core baby-care products and related components are made in Asia, with the vast majority of that from China, according to data from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association cited by the Associated Press.
U.S. Census data shows that 97% of imported baby carriages come from China. Similarly, 99% of imported child safety seats, 96% of metal toddler beds, and 93% of infant shoes are from China, Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University, told CNN.
Babylist, an online baby registry, reported prices for strollers and infant car seats jumped by an average of 25% and 20%, respectively, according to CNN.
For some high-end stroller models, that translates to hundreds of dollars more. Uppababy hiked the price of its Vista V3 stroller to $1,200 from $900.
Meanwhile, China produces nearly 80% of all toys sold in the U.S., and retailers are warning shortages are already in the pipeline, putting Christmas “at risk.”
Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Sl?k noted China’s dominance in other imports, including for fireworks. That’s as more than 90% of fireworks used in the U.S. are imported, with 95% of those imports coming from China.
“Similarly, there are many different categories of products that are imported into the US where demand is inelastic, and China is the only provider of that product,” he wrote in a note on Sunday titled “Will There Be Fireworks on the 4th of July?”
“The bottom line is that inflation will increase significantly for the product categories where China is the main producer of that good, likely including fireworks.”
