The new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump’s U.S. administration, intended to encourage companies to bring manufacturing back to the United States, may be having the opposite effect.

Patrick Hussey, spokesperson for Blackmagic Design, told The Verge that following the USA president’s announcement, the company’s plans have taken a different direction. Blackmagic has now been forced to postpone its investment in a U.S.-based factory as it seeks to deal with tariffs on imported products.

“We were planning to build a new factory in Dallas, Texas, to streamline our supply chain and allow us to work more directly with US semiconductor companies”, Hussey said to that media. “If we proceed with the US factory, we’d incur tariffs on those parts, increasing costs and negating the savings we anticipated”.

The company spokesperson explained that while “the semiconductor parts and PCBs used in Blackmagic’s cameras are sourced from US companies, those companies are importing them from overseas”.

Hussey also emphasized that price increases in the United States have been “inevitable.” For example, the new Pyxis 12K, which Blackmagic first announced that would be available for $4,995, later increased to $6,595 before finally settling at $5,500. “We operate factories in several countries, so production of some product lines has been relocated to reduce the impact on our customers”, Hussey explained.

In conclusion, he said Blackmagic will “wait a few months” to see whether the supply chain for the components they need moves to the U.S. “If it does, we could still achieve the supply chain benefits we were aiming for.”
