The image above shows the container ship MSC Anisha R approaching the port of Boston, where it should moor mid-afternoon with a 40-foot container of our Croatian wine.
Despite the uncertainty of tariffs, we decided to go ahead and bring in a container of wine, hoping that the tariffs did not change while it was on the way. The current tariff is 10%, with the possibility of increases by July 9, depending on US-EU negotiations. For this shipment, we will do our best to mitigate the cost increase for our distributors, retailers and customers. Fingers crossed that the tariff situation will be resolved and not deteriorate further.
