Innovative Eyewear Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCY), developer of smart eyewear brands including Lucyd, Nautica, Eddie Bauer and Reebok, highlights its competitive pricing advantage due to current tariff structures. While traditional eyewear from China faces combined duties of approximately 155%, smart eyewear products only incur a 27.5% total effective duty.
This significant tariff differential creates a strategic advantage for smart eyewear manufacturers, particularly as China produces about 90% of the world's eyewear. The company expects this tariff situation to bring smart eyewear to price parity with traditional designer eyewear, potentially driving consumer adoption of smart eyewear solutions.
