In light of the recent implementation of tariffs on goods originating from China, Mexico, and Canada, as well as other announced actions, we hereby notify you that prices will be adjusted to reflect the increased costs passed on to us by our vendors. These price adjustments will correspond to the additional costs incurred by US Service Center on affected products and will vary by product category, as determined by the manufacturers.
In response to previous tariff increases, we have taken significant measures to reduce our reliance on Chinese manufacturing to mitigate risks in our supply chains. Despite these efforts, the current situation remains highly volatile, and we are continuously reviewing and responding to these changes in real time.
Upon receiving notice of price increases from our suppliers, which will be communicated to you through your standard account notification process, the price adjustments will take effect for all affected products and will apply to all purchase orders issued on or after the notice date. Purchase orders accepted by US Service Center prior to the date of the increase will not be affected. Please note that our quotes are generally firm for 30 days, subject to modifications based on supplier actions.
Furthermore, due to impending regulatory actions, we may not accept unusually large purchase orders in February 2025. Should the tariffs not be implemented, be modified, or if we are able to otherwise mitigate their effects, we will adjust pricing accordingly.
We acknowledge the impact that these price adjustments may have on your business and are committed to maintaining transparency and providing the best possible service during this period. Our team is actively monitoring the situation and will continue to seek ways to mitigate the effects of these tariffs on our supply chain and pricing.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
