Local firework retailers won't affect 2025, but may affect 2026
NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. (KCAU) —With the Fourth of July less than a month away, many Siouxlanders will be buying fireworks soon. Most 1.4g, or consumer, fireworks come from China. How will recent tariffs on Chinese imports announced by President Donald Trump affect the price of fireworks? According to one local fireworks retailer, tariffs shouldn't affect prices this year, but that could change in the future.

So we were in that cycle and so we had our products coming in as soon as last fall. We got most of our products in before the tariff thing happened, ' John Barber, owner of Zorts Fireworks, said. 'We had three containers that were subject to that increased tariff and we chose not to import those because of the increased cost of the tariff. So they are essentially sitting over there in China until we see how this resolves.' However, Barber said as much as 40 to 50 percent of their stock carries over to the next year. So he's hopeful that Siouxlanders won't see the price of fireworks affected by much next year. Barber added that the fact that Independence Day falls on a Saturday this year means a lot more folks will likely be buying fireworks. He recommends people avoid any last-minute purchases. 'We'll start selling out, we don't want to sell out but we will. So I would encourage our people who are buying fireworks to go in early and pick them up.' Additionally, remember to follow you local city and community ordinances when it comes to when and where you can shoot off your fireworks. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
