Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle: ‘Lack of clarity’ surrounding tariffs

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — One of Oregon’s few billionaires is speaking out about how the Trump administration’s tariffs are impacting his business.

Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle says his company’s products contain “many, many costs,” including fabric and the cost of getting the products to the U.S.

“We’re used to paying tariffs,” Boyle said, noting that in 2024, his company was ranked as the 81st largest duty-paying company in the U.S., adding “We’re not the 81st largest company.

“Our category of merchandise, which is footwear and apparel, is among the most heavily tariffed under the code,” Boyle continued. “But with the current administration’s lack of clarity on the final tariffs will be on our products, we just don’t know what we’ll be paying for the product.”
