The rising cost of screws is affecting the entire supply chain. Tariffs introduced by Trump on steel and aluminum imports have disrupted supply chains for companies producing a wide range of products, from automotive parts to household appliances, football helmets, and lawnmowers. Unlike the tariffs implemented by Trump in 2018, the latest tariffs cover a broader range of imported goods, including screws, nails, and bolts. Import tariffs on steel and aluminum have increased the costs of both foreign and domestic metals used to manufacture these components. Manufacturing executives have stated that the U.S. lacks sufficient factories to produce the necessary steel wire, screws, and other fasteners to replace imported goods. The tariffs have disrupted supply chains for manufacturers, prompting some U.S. companies to seek domestic suppliers for small components. Gene Simpson, president of Illinois-based fastener manufacturer Semblex, said: "The production capacity we need does not exist in the U.S. Suppliers are limited." Companies using screws and other metal components affected by tariffs have noted that their customers will not tolerate price increases. Some construction contractors may delay projects until they find ways to mitigate the impact of import tariffs. According to Jason Miller, a supply chain management professor at Michigan State University, approximately USD 178 billion worth of steel and aluminum products imported into the U.S. last year are now subject to a 25% tariff. This is more than three times the value of goods impacted by the initial tariffs in 2018.
