Trump announced a 32% heavy tariff on Taiwan, impacting the Taiwanese economy. A car detailing business was the first to stop using American products, stating that prices for American automotive maintenance products have increased since last year. They are concerned that the tariffs will lead to rising costs and have decided to shift towards European and Japanese products to reduce the impact. The business pointed out that American goods account for 40% of their car wash and maintenance products, and they will expand the use of products from other countries in the future, emphasizing that they will conduct quality tests to ensure service quality. Customers expressed support for this move, stating that the boss's decision is more courageous than that of the government.

Trump announced that a 32% tariff will be imposed on Taiwan, which will have a significant impact on Taiwan. As automobile beauty industry operators responded first, they decided to immediately stop using American products. The operators stated that since last year, the prices of automobile maintenance-related products from American manufacturers have already increased, and with the new tariff policy, they are concerned that costs will be passed on to consumers, thus they are turning to products from countries like Europe and Japan to reduce the impact.

Many people regularly visit car beauty shops for services each year, and previously they usually chose to use American products. However, these operators are now expressing dissatisfaction with Trump's tariff policy and have decided to stop using American goods. They mentioned that past products included detergents, leather care, glass coatings, and palm wax, which will no longer be used in the future.

The operators pointed out that Taiwanese people should be self-aware and should not let others take advantage of them. They are worried that if tariffs increase further in the future, coupled with the profit demands of distributors, prices may rise by 90% or even 100%. A well-known vehicle beauty operator was the first to announce that all stores will stop providing beauty and maintenance products related to the United States. They mentioned that the price of American car wash products has already increased by 40% last year, and the cost of a certain brand's coating product has risen from 16,000 Taiwan dollars to nearly 26,000 Taiwan dollars, which has become unbearable for the operators.

The operators also emphasized that they do not want distributors to pass on the pressure of rising prices to the stores, which would then pass it on to consumers, as this would only create a vicious cycle. In the past, American products accounted for about 40% of car wash and maintenance products, and in the future, they will increase the use of goods from Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Some citizens expressed concerns about product quality, but others believe that Japanese products are of high quality and are not worried about the impact. The operators stated that they will test the products to ensure their reliability before offering services to consumers.

Long-time customers praised the operators online, stating that the boss has more determination than the government, and they urged for proactive measures to reduce the impact.
