Hiring Full-Time Remote Talent? Tariffs Can’t Touch You
2025 has been... a year. Between economic curveballs, shifting regulations, and global politics doing what global politics do, making long-term business decisions hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. One of the biggest headlines? A fresh wave of U.S. trade tariffs.
These new tariffs are raising the cost of physical goods, shaking up supply chains, and forcing businesses to rethink their sourcing strategies. But here's the good news: if you’re hiring full-time remote talent—especially through Walter—you’re in the clear.
🕵️♂️ Let’s dig in.
Tariffs Target Goods, Not Talent
The U.S. rolled out some hefty tariffs this year—60% on imports from China, 25% on goods from Mexico and Canada, and 20% on other regions. That’s a major headache if you're importing electronics or raw materials.
But remote team members? Not even on the radar.
When you hire full-time professionals from Latin America or the Philippines through Walter, you're working with people—not importing goods. Code, communication, and collaboration all happen digitally. That means no customs, no duties, and no added costs due to global policy changes.
