Tariffs Squeeze Portland Toy Stores as Import Costs Rise
(Portland, OR) -- Toy store owners in the Portland area say new tariffs are already hurting business. Merci Milo in Southeast Portland has lost six international vendors now shipping directly to consumers. Rogue Toys in Happy Valley may drop new imported items after learning a 20-thousand dollar shipment could face 25-thousand dollars in tariffs. Both stores say U.S.-made toys are hard to find and fear the rising costs may force them to close.
