The current state of tariffs at ACB...

Posted by Trent Austin on 9th May 2025

Hello everyone!

I do hope you are well and we are so thankful for all you do for us here at ACB.  As these times are currently oh so fluid I wanted to reach out to everyone with a brief message about the tariffs here and how they are impacting the shop.    

Right now here at the shop we actually have a ton of products in the shop and our offsite warehouse.  In fact we did our best to try to stay ahead of these large 145%  tariffs from China and have well over 1,000 doublers in stock.   We did increase our price a few months ago (our first increase in over two and half years) and have no plans to increase the pricing at the moment.     That being said if the tariffs continue to be this high when we order our next cargo container then we probably will have to revise this plan.

Regarding the EU  tariff increase of 10%   be advised that these will most likely have to be added on to most orders from overseas in the future on any  "Build-your-own"  listings.  I do believe this 10%  additional tariff is here to stay and something we'll have to navigate.  For most of the higher-end products our margins are too small to absorb the full fee.  Please email us or call anytime if you have questions.

Again we have over 1,500 instruments in stock at the moment so we are best prepared to work with you in these new times.   We are always here via phone at 816-410-0826  or via email with any questions you may have.

Thanks again and  "Keep on Keepin' On!"
