Cosmax NBT USA, a contract manufacturer in the dietary supplement sector, has taken measures to help its clients manage the impact of U.S. tariffs on imported goods. While certain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other ingredients have been exempted from reciprocal tariffs that were enacted on April 2, hundreds of other compounds, including botanicals and specialty extracts, are not exempted.

The company has taken measures in its supply chain to reduce cost burdens and ensure uninterrupted product delivery. The company noted that Korea’s supplement manufacturing sector is poised to capitalize on shifting supply chains, as companies seek to avoid tariffs on Chinese imports.

“This allows us to maintain competitive pricing, enhance lead times, and shield clients from volatility,” said Jay Ahn, CEO. “We’re also offering consultative support to help brands reformulate or repackage products in ways that reduce tariff exposure without compromising quality or efficacy.”

“With vertically integrated R&D, manufacturing, and regulatory capabilities across multiple regions, we give clients the agility to adapt quickly without sacrificing innovation,” said Ahn. “Our proven track record of navigating complex international trade environments makes us a reliable partner in ensuring business continuity and cost efficiency. From concept to finished product, Cosmax remains committed to helping our partners grow, even in a turbulent trade climate.”

Cosmax has focused on supply chain diversification by identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers outside of the affected regions to ensure a steady supply of raw materials. The company has also implemented strategies to absorb or offset potential cost increases to minimize financial impacts on clients, and will maintain transparent and timely communication with clients about potential sourcing and price changes, it reported.
