President Donald Trump extended the deadline for imposing reciprocal tariffs on trade partner nations, introducing a one-month delay. This decision keeps South Korean K-Beauty companies on alert as the potential imposition of tariffs could significantly impact their business. With a plan to impose 25% reciprocal tariffs starting in May, the beauty industry is preparing for various outcomes based on forthcoming negotiations. Brands like LG Household & Health Care and Amorepacific are closely monitoring the situation, determining how these tariffs may influence their exports to the U.S. Meanwhile, companies like Kolmar Korea and Cosmax, which operate manufacturing plants in the U.S., are strategically positioning themselves to minimize impacts by using their local production facilities.
