Understand China concentration in U.S. imports, diversification trends, and how to interpret sourcing risk for your product category.
China share is the percentage of a category's U.S. imports sourced from China in the latest Census reporting period. It is a category-level metric, not a supplier-specific fact.
High China share often correlates with tariff exposure, longer supply chain risk, and crowded sourcing — but it does not mean you cannot succeed in the category.
Categories where Vietnam or Mexico share is rising while China share falls may offer better landed cost stability.
SourceLucid tracks China share trends over time and applies a China risk penalty to opportunity scores when concentration is high.
Compare country profiles for your top source countries before committing to a supplier region.
Monitor tariff alerts for HS codes in your category — rate changes can shift economics overnight.
Always validate alternative suppliers independently; trade data shows trends, not verified vendor lists.
No. Census data shows the share of a product category imported from China — not individual factories, brands, or company names.
Categories above 60% China share carry higher concentration risk from tariffs, geopolitical shifts, and supply chain disruption. SourceLucid flags this on every opportunity page.
Review country share tables on opportunity pages and use the Country Shift Radar to spot categories where Vietnam, Mexico, Taiwan, or India are gaining share.
