Navigating Tariffs and Cannabis Swag with Baker Brands

Navigating Tariffs and Cannabis Swag with Baker Brands

As the cannabis industry continues to grow, so does the demand for high-quality promotional swag and branded cannabis accessories. However, recent increases in U.S. tariffs on goods manufactured overseas are already starting to impact the pricing of popular white label and custom products—including branded cartridge batteries, lighters, grinders, and other cannabis merchandise.

For cannabis brands, dispensaries, and smoke shops, this shift underscores the importance of working with experienced suppliers like Baker Brands, who can help you navigate these changes while keeping costs under control.

How Tariffs Are Affecting Custom Cannabis Accessories

Tariffs are essentially taxes placed on imported goods. With recent tariff increases targeting a broad range of products from countries like China, many white label and custom branded cannabis accessories are becoming more expensive to produce and import. This includes:

Higher tariffs often mean longer lead times, higher per-unit costs, and more unpredictable shipping and production schedules. For cannabis brands that rely on overseas manufacturing, this creates major headaches—and can eat into already tight margins.
