The Guangyue Jordan factory is operating at full capacity, with clear advantages in equivalent tariff resources, and orders have been secured before August.

7 April, 2025

Under the impact of the implementation of reciprocal tariffs in the United States, Guangyue (4438) faces certain challenges.

Furthermore, the Vietnamese government is actively seeking to reduce tariffs, which will help enhance Guangyue's market competitiveness.
