On September 25, 2025, the U.S. Commerce Department announced a national security investigation into medical equipment and devices. The probe targets companies that manufacture or supply medical devices, including Align Technology, Inc. The investigation is aimed at assessing potential national security risks associated with the supply chain of these products.
The investigation could lead to the imposition of tariffs on imported medical equipment and devices. If tariffs are applied, Align would face higher import costs for components and finished products, potentially increasing its manufacturing expenses. The company’s supply chain, which relies on international sourcing, could be disrupted by new trade restrictions.
Align’s management has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the investigation. However, the company’s exposure to potential tariff increases could affect its cost structure and pricing strategy. Investors should monitor the investigation’s progress for any regulatory decisions that may impact Align’s profitability.
