Some Walmart garment orders from Bangladesh on hold due to US tariff threat
LONDON/NEW YORK, July 11 (Reuters) - Suppliers to Walmart WMT.N have delayed or put on hold some orders from garment manufacturers in Bangladesh, according to three factory owners and correspondence from a supplier seen by Reuters, as U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of a 35% tariff on the textile hub disrupts business. Bangladesh is the third-largest exporter of apparel to the United States, and it relies on the garment sector for 80% of its export earnings and 10% of its GDP. The factory owners all said they expected orders to fall if the August 1 tariffs go into effect, as they are unable to absorb that 35% rate. Iqbal Hossain, managing director of garment manufacturer Patriot Eco Apparel Ltd, told Reuters an order for nearly 1 million swim shorts for Walmart was put on hold on Thursday due to the tariff threat. 'As we discussed please hold all below Spring season orders we are discussing here due to heavy Tariff % imposed for USA imports,' Faruk Saikat, assistant merchandising manager at Classic Fashion, wrote in an email to Hossain and others seen by Reuters. Classic Fashion is a supplier and buying agent that places orders for retailers. 'As per our management instruction we are holding Bangladesh production for time being and IN case Tariff issues settled then we will continue as we planned here.' The hold was not decided by Walmart, Saikat told Reuters, but by Classic Fashion itself. Walmart did not respond to a request for comment. Bangladesh is currently in talks with the United States in Washington to try to negotiate a lower tariff. Trump in recent days has revived threats of higher levies on numerous nations. 'If the 35% tariff remains for Bangladesh, that will be very tough to sustain, honestly speaking, and there will not be as many orders as we have now,' said Mohiuddin Rubel, managing director at jeans manufacturer Denim Expert Ltd in Dhaka. Rubel, whose company produces jeans for H&M and other retailers, said he expects clients will ask him to absorb part of the tariff, but added this would not be possible financially. Manufacturers have already absorbed part of the blanket 10% tariff imposed by the U.S. on April 2. 'Only probably the big, big companies can a little bit sustain (tariffs) but not the small and medium companies,' he said. Retailers have front-loaded orders since Trump returned to the White House, anticipating higher tariffs. Jeans maker Levi's LEVI.N, which imports from Bangladesh, said on Thursday it has 60% of the inventory it needs for the rest of 2025. U.S. clothing imports from Bangladesh totaled $3.38 billion in the first five months of 2025, up 21% from the year-earlier period, according to U.S. International Trade Commission data. Another Dhaka-based garment factory owner said an importer with whom he was negotiating a spring 2026 order of trousers for Walmart asked him on Thursday to wait a week before the order would be confirmed due to the tariff risk. Hossain said he may look for more orders from European clients to make up for lost orders if the U.S. 35% tariff gets implemented, even if he has to cut prices to stimulate demand.

Trump's 'big beautiful bill' could deliver 45.5% 'SALT torpedo' for high earners, tax pro says
President Donald Trump 's 'big beautiful bill' delivers a temporary higher limit on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, known as SALT. But the phaseout, or income-based benefit reduction, could trigger a tax surprise for some higher earners, experts say. If you itemize tax breaks, you can claim the SALT deduction, which includes state and local income taxes and property taxes. Trump's legislation raises the SALT deduction limit to $40,000 starting in 2025, with a 1% yearly increase through 2029, before reverting to $10,000 in 2030. However, the $40,000 SALT cap starts to phase out once modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI, exceeds $500,000. The SALT limit drops to $10,000 once MAGI reaches $600,000. MAGI is adjusted gross income with some tax breaks added back in. This phaseout can create a 'SALT torpedo' — an artificially high tax rate — when MAGI falls between $500,000 and $600,000, certified public accountant Jeff Levine said in a LinkedIn post this week. In some cases, you could pay a 45.5% federal tax rate on earnings between those thresholds, experts say. Here's how the 'SALT torpedo' works and who could be impacted, according to tax experts. How the SALT deduction phaseout works Under Trump's legislation, the SALT deduction limit for 2025 is now $30,000 higher. But a 30% phaseout kicks in once MAGI exceeds $500,000 for 2025. Between $500,000 and $600,000, 'you're losing 30% for every dollar' of benefit between those thresholds, said certified financial planner Jim Guarino, managing director at Baker Newman Noyes in Woburn, Massachusetts. He is also a CPA. At $600,000, if you multiply the extra $100,000 of income by 30%, that's a $30,000 benefit reduction, which drops the $40,000 SALT cap back to $10,000. A 'quirky' phaseout boosts tax rate With the 30% SALT deduction phaseout between $500,000 and $600,000 of MAGI, some individuals could pay a higher-than-expected tax on earnings between those thresholds, according to Robert Keebler, a CPA with tax advisory firm Keebler & Associates in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Between $500,000 and $600,000, you're increasing taxable income while losing part of the SALT deduction, which raises your effective tax rate — the percent of taxable income you pay. If taxable income rises while the SALT deduction falls, your effective tax rate on income between $500,000 and $600,000 could far exceed your regular income tax rate, Keebler said in a LinkedIn post last week. 'It's definitely a quirky little phaseout provision,' Andy Whitehair, a CPA and a director with Baker Tilly's Washington tax council practice, told CNBC. 'When people start actually crunching numbers, they might be in for some surprises.' Whitehair also shared a basic example of the phaseout on LinkedIn this week. If your income is $500,000 and you subtract $75,000 of itemized deductions (including $40,000 for SALT), your taxable income is $425,000. By contrast, $600,000 of income would drop the SALT deduction to $10,000, which reduces itemized deductions to $45,000, and raises taxable income to $555,000. When comparing taxable income for each example, the true difference is $130,000 with the $30,000 lost SALT deduction. If you multiply that by the 35% tax bracket, you get $45,500. In this simplified example, there is $45,500 more federal tax owed by earning $100,000 more, which is 45.5%, Whitehair said. If your 2025 earnings could be near $500,000, you should run projections with a tax advisor and weigh strategies to reduce MAGI, experts say. With the steep tax penalty between $500,000 and $600,000, you may reconsider Roth individual retirement conversions, incurring large capital gains or other moves that could boost your income, according to Keebler.
