With the reduction of tariffs, will the foreign trade situation have a significant impact on SSM stoves？

The recent reduction in tariffs can significantly impact SSM’s international stove operations. Lower tariffs reduce export costs, making SSM stoves more price-competitive in target markets. This enhances the product’s accessibility and attractiveness, especially in countries aiming to expand clean energy adoption. Additionally, streamlined customs procedures often accompany tariff reductions, enabling faster delivery and improved supply chain efficiency — crucial for scaling up operations in rural regions.

Lower import duties also improve the financial viability of carbon credit projects. By reducing the total deployment cost, the net return per ton of carbon offset increases, attracting more climate investors and development partners. Furthermore, tariff cuts signal favorable government policies toward clean energy, creating stronger opportunities for SSM to collaborate with local authorities, NGOs, and donors.

However, reduced trade barriers may also invite more competitors, making it essential for SSM to differentiate itself through higher efficiency, measurable impact, and reliable service. Overall, reduced tariffs offer a strategic advantage for SSM to expand globally and accelerate its mission to bring health, hope, and climate resilience through clean cooking solutions.
