Why Buying American-Made is the Smartest Move in a Tariff War
When it comes to tariffs, few people understand their impact better than Mark Andol, founder of General Welding & Fabricating and the Made in America Store. Over the years, Mark has been a leading voice in the fight for American manufacturing, making national headlines for his unwavering support of American-made products.
Recent news coverage, including features in the New York Post and Fox News, has once again spotlighted Mark’s message: Buying American-made is the best way to avoid tariffs and strengthen our economy.
The Tariff Truth: No Imports, No Import Taxes
The biggest misconception about tariffs is that they impact all businesses equally. The truth? Tariffs only apply to imported goods. If a product is made 100% in the USA, there’s nothing to import—meaning no extra taxes, no price hikes due to tariffs, and no reliance on foreign supply chains.
In his recent New York Post interview, Mark explained why he supports tariffs on imported goods:
“Tariffs are meant to level the playing field. When you manufacture products here in America, you don’t have to worry about import taxes—it just makes sense.”
This is a key reason why the Made in America Store and General Welding & Fabricating have remained strong even as tariffs affect global markets. By sourcing and manufacturing domestically, we ensure stable pricing and higher-quality products without the uncertainty of foreign trade policies.
A Manufacturing Renaissance in the U.S.
The more businesses realize that domestic production shields them from tariffs, the more likely they are to bring manufacturing back to American soil. This is exactly what Mark Andol has been advocating for years, and as Fox News highlighted in their recent coverage, his message is resonating nationwide.

Tariffs don’t just protect U.S. manufacturers; they incentivize companies to produce locally rather than outsource jobs overseas. And when companies bring production back home, everyone benefits—from workers to consumers to the economy as a whole.
The Bottom Line: Buy American, Stay Competitive
If you’re concerned about tariffs and rising costs, the best solution is simple: Buy American-made. Whether it’s trailers, tools, or everyday products, choosing American-made means stable pricing, reliable quality, and a stronger national economy.
As Mark Andol has said time and time again:
“American-made isn’t just a label—it’s a commitment to quality, jobs, and our country’s future.”
