The Op may send 15 containers of games back to China, and has halted all other China-based production, CEO Dane Chapin told New York Times columnist Bret Stephens in a recent interview. The games were shipped from China when tariffs were 20%, but the increase in the tariff rate to 145% means the company would have to pay an additional $920,000 to bring them into the United States.
Chapin told Stephens he thought it was unfair for big tech companies to get exemptions to tariffs while his much smaller business has nothing but bad choices. He noted that Apple has $60 billion in cash in the bank and has a market cap that is 231 times larger than the two largest toy companies combined. "The toy industry is a blip economically, yet we have been put in deep peril by the chaotic and random execution of trade policy," he told Stephens.
Like other game publishers, Chapin said he has no domestic manufacturing options for the products The Op sources from China.
