Cosmax NBT USA Addresses Impact of Recent U.S. Tariffs
on Dietary Supplement Industry
June 10, 2025, Garland, TX: Cosmax NBT USA, a leading contract manufacturer in the dietary supplement sector, acknowledges the challenges posed by the recent U.S. tariff implementations and reaffirms its commitment to supporting clients through these ever-evolving developments.
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. government enacted a 10% global tariff, with additional reciprocal tariffs on imports from key trading partners, including Canada, Mexico, and China. While certain dietary supplement ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, choline, and CoQ10 have been exempted from these tariffs, hundreds of other essential components, particularly botanicals and specialty extracts, are still vulnerable to these tariffs.
Cosmax NBT USA is proactively navigating the dynamic tariff landscape by re-optimizing its global supply chain to minimize cost burdens and ensure uninterrupted product delivery. Amid escalating trade tensions, Korea’s dietary supplement manufacturing sector is poised to capitalize on shifting global supply chains, as companies seek alternative production hubs to mitigate the impact of tariffs on Chinese goods. By reducing costs on Korean exports to the US, Cosmax NBT has a distinct advantage over other manufactures in the dietary supplement market.
“This allows us to maintain competitive pricing, enhance lead times, and shield clients from volatility,” said Cosmax NBT USA CEO Jay Ahn. “We’re also offering consultative support to help brands reformulate or repackage products in ways that reduce tariff exposure without compromising quality or efficacy.”
In times of disruption, experience, flexibility, and global infrastructure matter more than ever. Cosmax offers all three. “With vertically integrated R&D, manufacturing, and regulatory capabilities across multiple regions, we give clients the agility to adapt quickly without sacrificing innovation,” Ahn said, adding, “Our proven track record of navigating complex international trade environments makes us a reliable partner in ensuring business continuity and cost efficiency. From concept to finished product, Cosmax remains committed to helping our partners grow — even in a turbulent trade climate.”
Cosmax NBT USA is taking the following measures to navigate the current tariff environment:
- Supply Chain Diversification: Identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers outside the affected regions to ensure a steady flow of raw materials.
- Cost Management: Implementing strategies to absorb or offset increased costs, minimizing the financial impact on clients.
- Client Communication: Maintaining transparent and timely communication with clients regarding potential changes in sourcing and pricing.
The company remains committed to delivering high-quality dietary supplements and supporting clients in adapting to these evolving market conditions.
