Item 8.01. Other Events
 
On April 11, 2025, NextPlat Corp (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing an update on the impact of current United States/China tariffs on its e-Commerce development program as a result of China’s escalation in tariffs placed on US-produced goods imported into the country. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. If the current United States/China tariff environment persists, it will have an immediate adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial prospects, results of operations, and financial condition, and will materially and adversely impact the ability of the Company to be profitable.
 
The Company plans to pause certain initiatives within its e-Commerce development program which was launched in April 2023 to help U.S.-based businesses reach the vast Chinese consumer market through major online platforms like Alibaba’s Tmall. This includes the introduction of a new line of vitamins and supplements under the Florida Sunshine brand name, since these offerings would be subject to the increased tariffs and would face significant import costs which Management believes will reduce its ability to compete with locally produced products. The Company is still reviewing opportunities to sell its Florida Sunshine products in other markets.
 
The Company intends to continue selling products manufactured by OPKO Health Europe, a subsidiary of OPKO Health, Inc., in China including an array of nutraceuticals and supplements as well as adding products for pet care, all of which are not produced in the United States and as such, are not subject to additional tariffs.
 
We cannot predict whether the current trade environment will persist or if new quotas, duties, taxes, tariffs, exchange controls, current or future “trade wars”, or other restrictions will be imposed by the U.S. and China upon the import or export of our products and the commodities and components used to manufacture our products, or what effect any of these actions would have on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

COCONUT GROVE, FL –April 11, 2025 – NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL, NXPLW) (“NextPlat” or the “Company”), a global e-Commerce provider, today provided an update on the impact of current United States/China tariffs on its e-Commerce development program as a result of China’s escalation in tariffs placed on US-produced goods imported into the country.
