Just got an e-mail from one of our Chinese distributors saying they will no longer distribute their products in the U.S. with the reason offered as, effectively, the U.S. has become too difficult of a market to continue selling to, and they make more money elsewhere.

No one in the U.S. makes comparable products.

I planned for so many different things over the past few months which should allow us to weather the storm for the next year or so, but I didn’t expect our largest supplier to back out of the U.S. market entirely.

Not sure what to do at this point. This completely guts our business and leaves us with no alternatives or hopes for alternatives.

I’m looking into importing them ourselves but I’m already hitting walls and the added expense is enormous.

Sigh. We’re cooked.
