"I was in a box behind the register when I was a little girl, and I've never had a Fourth of July that I was not in a fireworks stand."Sherry Siscoe, owner of Crazy Joe's Fireworks, and her family have been entrenched in the fireworks business since 1967.They know the art of getting and making a deal, a skill that comes in handy when dealing with fluctuating tariffs imposed on Chinese goods."All our fireworks come from China," Siscoe said. "As soon as the tariffs started creeping in, it was first 10%, and then two weeks later it jumped another 10%."She says fireworks wholesalers faced tariffs as high as 159% at one point in 2025 and paused buying and shipping product to the United States.Siscoe has already secured the thousands of cases she needed early to fill her trailers and 16,000-square-foot tent with the booms and blasts customers love , all at last year's prices."There was a moment of, ‘I need to hurry up and get my orders in.’ I did focus on not waiting as long as I normally do," she said. "The cost should not be transferred to customers. The only thing they may see is maybe something went up $0.50 or a dollar, but it's not going to be a huge amount like you've been seeing other items that come in from China at the higher rate."Current tariffs imposed on China stand at 55%. China's tariffs on U.S. goods are holding steady at 10%.Missouri sells more fireworks than any other state in the country, with customers spending over $125 million annually on personal and professional displays."I think overall, people just don't need to be afraid," she said. "The 4th of July is on a Friday this year. They don't need to be afraid of pricing. I think most of the people in the fireworks business have been in it for a very long time, and the wholesalers really work with us and make sure that they're giving us a product at a good price."Crazy Joe's Fireworks opens Saturday at 9 a.m.
