Federal Tariff Surcharge Update - Effective 9/2/2025

Effective 8/1/2025, the U.S. government has raised tariffs on our incoming global goods from 10% to as much as 25%. While we have the option to pass this full increase on to you, our valuable customers — either by raising our product prices or increasing the tariff surcharge — we have once again decided to absorb a significant portion of it ourselves and share the burden.

Instead of the full increase (15%-25%), only 8% will be reflected as a separate line item on your invoice or in your cart, labeled “Federal Tariff Surcharge.” This adjustment will go into effect on September 2, 2025

Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Product prices remain unchanged — this is not a base price increase.
  • Sale and clearance items -- the discount or the sale prices is adjusted to offset the charge for a net 0 effect.
  • The 8% surcharge reflects current global tariff conditions and may be adjusted if those conditions change.
  • Some companies raise product prices permanently to offset tariffs. We’re taking a different approach—keeping it flexible, transparent, and easy to update as needed.

We truly appreciate your support and the opportunity to serve you.

Thank you for your business.
