Final Day: Mbariket Live at SOURCING at MAGIC Las Vegas
The clear theme: buyers are asking for export compliance and certifications—and manufacturers and suppliers are using them as their strongest selling points.
Today’s U.S. buyers don’t just want great products; they want proof. Safety certifications, proper labeling, packaging compliance, and international standards are what move a product from “interesting sample” to “contract-ready.”
On top of that, tariffs are shaping sourcing decisions. From U.S.–China tensions driving up apparel and textile tariffs, to AGOA’s duty-free advantages for African exporters, buyers are paying close attention to cost implications. Manufacturers who can prove compliance and show tariff advantages are in the best position to win long-term contracts.
The bottom line: certifications + tariff positioning = competitive edge. That’s the language of trust and profitability in global trade today.
