Why are the tariffs so high on Chinese brands of hulls ?

Re: Swift is bankrupt
Lobbying from domestic boat makers...?
Re: Swift is bankrupt
Given all the ballon nonsense I am not sure why people are buying Chinese manufactured boats…lol
Currently the following companies have boats produced in China
Wintech , distribution only as Row America is no more as Winklevoss has sold off the clubs, the repair shop and manufacturing. Oysters is a better business it appears. Wintech has their brand produced out of the Flying eagle plant.
Swift
Kanghua
Liang jin ( not sure on spelling)
Falcon
Pei She not sure on this
Sykes / Resolute - I don’t know if the Resolute brand is but definitely some of the Sykes models . The Resolute did undergo an overhaul in manufacturing when it was “slimmed down “ in materials to get a better price point. Not sure if this has been corrected as the boat was not the same when Fabio ( now Filippi) took over from Rowers Choice and now under “new management” for the third time in as many years. . Though you can get your USA sticker put on the boat in AUS.

Last I read, the Sykes racing boats were Auzzie built. The more rec sculling boats were Chinese with Auzzie fittings.

Has Swift in the USA gone under again?
