Dear Valued Customer,
We want to keep you informed about an important upcoming change that may impact pricing and supply across several industries.
Beginning April 27, new Section 232 tariffs will go into effect. These tariffs are part of a federal trade policy aimed at protecting domestic industries by placing additional duties on certain imported materials and goods, particularly steel, aluminum, and related products.
What this means for you:
- Potential price increases: As costs rise on imported materials, suppliers and manufacturers may adjust pricing accordingly.
- Supply chain adjustments: Some products may experience delays or limited availability as businesses shift sourcing strategies.
- Broader impact on small businesses: Smaller companies, in particular, may feel the effects more quickly, as they often have less flexibility to absorb increased costs or rapidly change suppliers.
What we’re doing:
We are actively working with our suppliers and partners to minimize disruption and manage costs wherever possible. Our goal is to continue providing you with reliable service, competitive pricing, and transparency.
What you can do:
If you have upcoming projects or anticipate needing materials affected by these tariffs, we encourage you to plan ahead. Our team is here to help you navigate options and identify the best solutions for your needs.
