The company is handling non-U.S. business through its Singapore subsidiary to reduce the impact of tariffs. In the third quarter, tariffs and freight costs decreased by 30% year-on-year, positively affecting gross profit. The U.S. business has maintained overall gross profit stability by raising prices and sharing costs with partners. ConST also mentioned that the Singapore subsidiary currently handles about 40% of non-U.S. business, and shipments from Singapore are not subject to tariffs. The company will continue to enhance its value proportion in international channels. This year, the gross profit in the U.S. region is lower than the same period last year, mainly due to high-margin project orders in the petrochemical industry last year. Excluding this special factor, the long-term gross profit margin remains basically stable. At the same time, the company is adjusting its product sales strategy in the U.S. region, introducing more high-margin products to this area. Even with the imposition of tariffs, the high margins can offset tariff costs, ensuring that the overall gross profit level in the U.S. region is not significantly affected ### Related Stocks - [300445.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/300445.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [NEURA Robotics acquires BARS-backed cleaning robot maker ADLATUS Robotics](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296796120.md) - [Promise Analyzes Telehealth Licensing Rules as Compact Hits Record 3,633 Licenses in a Month](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296635882.md) - [10:44 ETHearingLife Introduces Oticon Reveal, the World's First Dual AI-Powered Hearing Aid](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296804127.md) - [US health agencies report 55 cases of E. coli and salmonella infections tied to alfalfa sprouts](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296645342.md) - [22:15 ETConférence mondiale sur la robotique 2026 : Zoomlion présente l'intelligence intégrée dans le secteur industriel](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296662710.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
