Important Update, February 14, 2025

The tariffs affect ALL RAW MATERIALS that come into this country. In 2018, My cost of flags, flagpoles, and components all went up six times as a result of the Tariffs implemented at that time

The following was the first notice I've received from one of my vendors. I expect I'll be getting notices from them all:

"SPECIAL ALERT! – US TARIFFS.

US hikes Section 232 Tariff to 25% on all countries, no exemptions

President Trump has signed executive orders increasing US Section 232 tariffs on aluminum to 25%, effective March 4, removing all country exemptions, and canceling the product exclusion process...."

Unfortunately, the added cost of goods is passed on down the line. 

 

I'm sorry, but unfortunately, we can all expect at least a 25% increase in pricing, some pricing will go into effect on March 4.
