The Tariff Free Advantage of Sourcing Your Plastic Containers in USA
At LA Container, we’re proud to produce our plastic containers and vials right here in Yorba Linda, California, USA. In a world of fluctuating trade policies, tariffs and complex regulations, sourcing domestically offers a clear advantage, allowing you to access high-quality, reliable products while supporting local manufacturing and local jobs.
As many businesses have experienced, recent global trade tensions have resulted in new tariffs on imported plastic goods, particularly from China, a major player in the small plastic packaging market. These measures have placed additional costs and logistical hurdles on imported products, impacting supply chains and profitability. By choosing a U.S. based manufacturer, like LA Container, you can bypass these unpredictable tariffs and avoid the associated costs, delays, and risks.
A Focus on Quality and Compliance
Beyond financial benefits, manufacturing in the USA ensures adherence to some of the world’s most rigorous product regulations. Even though China has recently introduced stricter laws to combat plastic pollution, banning single-use, non-degradable products. The U.S. has a longstanding, comprehensive framework for product safety. For example, the FDA’s regulations for food-contact materials, based on the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, require a high level of scrutiny and approval for new substances.
While both countries aim to protect public health, their regulatory frameworks differ. The U.S. system is built on a framework of stringent pre-market notifications and safety protocols. Furthermore, domestic manufacturing eliminates concerns that can arise from international sourcing, such as material “quality fade” and intellectual property risks. When you buy U.S.A. made plastic containers, you get the assurance that manufacturers stand behind their products and are held to the highest standards.
