Prices are coming down — and we’re as relieved as you are!
If you’ve been following the ups and downs of recent US–China trade developments, you’ll know it’s been a wild ride. Tariff rates on ABDL products imported from China climbed to a staggering 152.5% earlier this year. But a 90-day reprieve has now been announced, temporarily reducing those rates to a much more manageable 37.5%.
We’re pleased to share that this shift is already having a tangible impact. After a full internal review, we’re rolling out a new pricing structure that reflects the change. As of [insert date], most prices in our US store will be going down.
🔍 Transparency First
Not all products will be affected equally. Some prices will remain the same, while others will see a noticeable drop in cost per bag. Why? While we passed on the steepest tariff increases at cost, we’re now working to transition back toward a pricing model that feels more sustainable, one that protects us as a business and supports the community we serve. These new prices reflect meaningful reductions, not just optics.
💬 Still Some Uncertainty Ahead
This tariff relief is good news but it’s currently temporary. The rollback is only in place for 90 days, and we’re still waiting on clarity about whether it applies to goods already in transit or held in customs.
We’re also closely watching recent legal activity. The US International Trade Court is currently reviewing aspects of the entire tariff policy since the start of the year, and there are ongoing legal cases tied to concerns about executive overreach and appeals to the ruling that came at the end of May. Depending on the outcome, there may be further changes to the timeline or scope of tariff relief.
In short: we’re cautiously optimistic, but staying flexible.
💙 Thank You
