This custom designed molded and lathe cut rubber part is unique to Raybend, thus not 

available elsewhere. It is produced in China on custom tooling designed to work on machine 

tools in China, and nowhere else. To produce the part in the United States would require a 

new extrusion mold and mandrel at a cost more than $8,000, approximately 5 months to 

start production, and would be 70% more expensive that China. 

This part is used in the manufacture of submersible pumps in the United States in 

Raybend's facility in Michigan. Therefore, the continuing ability of Raybend to purchase this 

part in China at low prices helps ensures the profitability of Raybend's Michigan 

manufacturing, and therefore, the livelihood of its employees.

If an exclusion is not granted or tariffs cannot be past along to customers, Raybend will 

need to shift costs and possibly move final assembly of pumps from the United States to 

other countries, such as Vietnam, where they are already sourcing some finished products.

Moreover, submersible pumps, parts and motors do not appear to be part of the "Made in 

China 2025" initiative, and certainly is not strategically related or important to it. The 

MIC2025 focuses on 10 key sectors of the Chinese industry, and none of them could fairly 

be said to involve sump pumps or parts.
