Aggressive tariffs that remain on Chinese goods coming to the United States could benefit off-price retailers, including TJ Maxx and Ross, which would likely sidestep the major impacts thanks to their inventory management and sourcing strategies, according to a report from Reuters.
TJ Maxx, Ross Stores and Burlington often acquire merchandise, including clothing and accessories, from other retailers and middlemen in the United States rather than importing directly from factories overseas, said the report.
"They're just buying unsold inventory from other places," Brian Mulberry, client-portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management, told Reuters. That means tariffs already will have been paid by the retailer who imported the clothing or shoes from China, he said.
