Customs charging is anxious about a Finnish company that has broken into the US market. The CEO wants logic.
US president Donald Trump Customs policy is also worried in Finland.
Last week, Trump announced massive import duties targeting almost all states in the world. On Wednesday, Trump said he was unexpectedly interrupted for a 90 -day negotiation break.

Orneule produces, among other things, Cutlon veneer protection material delivered to the United States. One of the customers is the Warroad, who is owned by a hockey star who is owned by the NHL. Tj oshie.
The material is patented in Europe and the United States. According to Uotila, the incision protection material is sold to the United States for hundreds of thousands of euros.
– Demand varies, but it is all the time. [Suojavarusteihin liittyvät säännöt] are tighter.

On Wednesday, Trump announced that the United States would inherit 10 % import duties during the 90 -day break. China reported that it would set 125 % customs duties.
China, on the other hand, slipped 84 % of the US goods entering the country. The European Union also announced new duties, some of which are expected to enter into force in April, some in May and some in early December.
In the United States, it is expected that the EU will be delayed by further enforcement of the newcomers. So the situation lives.
– It is most difficult for business to do when things are changing all the time. A small company can do nothing but wait. The situation is very unpredictable. The next morning things can be completely different, Uotila says.

Uotila cannot estimate whether a Finnish company will have to make changes due to Trump’s customs.
– Things are changing all the time, so the plan has not yet been made. I would like some logic. I guess someone has logic there.

The US Ice Hockey Association set a neck protection for all players under the age of 18. Protection is also required for all matches of the International Ice Hockey Association under 18 and under-20s and adults.
