Spokane trading company owners cut own wages to absorb $60,000 in tariff costs

Denise Attwood and Austin Zimmerman, owners of Spokane-based Ganesh Himal Trading Company, revealed the extreme measures taken to survive a year of high tariffs. The duo, which has worked for 40 years to support economic stability in Nepal, reported paying nearly $60,000 in tariff-related surcharges. To protect their staff and Nepalese producers from price hikes that would disrupt the supply chain, the owners cut their own wages for nearly a year. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling, they remain cautious as the administration pivots to new trade mechanisms.
