Bertram Yachts
Estimated Cost: $8 million in 2018
Auvil Fruit isn’t the only company that’s lost big money due to retaliatory tariffs. In response to Trump’s tariffs on European Union goods, the EU responded with its own list of tariffs, which included a 25% charge on recreational boats imported from the U.S.
As a result of this hefty charge, European dealers have almost completely stopped ordering boats from America. One company that’s felt the pain is Bertram Yachts, a high-end boat maker based out of Tampa, Fla. The company had lost out on $8 million in European sales as of August 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported.
