Uttermost pricing update 06/02/2025

Monday, June 02, 2025 2:13 PM | Jill Ragan Scully (Administrator)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Thank you for your partnership. We appreciate the opportunity to support your business year after year.

At our Spring High Point market, we launched our new Outdoor collection, and could not have been more pleased with the response. Thanks to all of you who shopped Uttermost Outdoor. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions as we are very focused on our Fall introduction now. We’ll have our new Outdoor Lookbook available later this month, as well as swatches available.

As you know, the tariff situation is very fluid and very significant. Just in the past few days, it was announced that the steel and aluminum tariff will increase from 25% to 50%, effective this coming Wednesday.

We have postponed the price adjustment mentioned in the below letter, but can’t wait any longer. Other than our domestic production, tariffs have increased on all production in the past two months. In addition, ocean freight is increasing rapidly now.

While we have been working on the cost analysis for some time, we will not finalize the exact increase until Thursday or Friday this week, and the increase will be effective at that time. We expect the increase to average 4% or less, as we’ll mitigate the cost increases as much as possible.

Please note that this increase will have no effect on orders placed prior to the increase, including any backorders. Also, there will be no tariff surcharge.

From an overall perspective, we manufacture our designs in a broad range of countries including Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Cambodia, Portugal, China, and the US. We continue to decrease our China production even further, while increasing our production in all other countries including the US. All three of our distribution centers are well stocked.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to serve you in the best possible ways.

Sincerely,

Mac Cooper

President

Kravet pricing update 5/28/2025

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 9:32 PM | Jill Ragan Scully (Administrator)

By now I am certain that you are exhausted by all of the tariff related emails you have received. So, I will make this simple and concise.

In order to create a fair and flexible policy, as of July 9th we will commence the following:

• Add a 3% surcharge only on our imported products (including those from China);

• This will apply only to orders placed on or after July 9th;

• The surcharge will be a separate line item on our invoices;

• We will have the ability to adjust the surcharge up or down by country of origin if the tariffs vary from where they are today. We will clearly state this on our invoices; and

• There will be no surcharges on any of our furniture, as it is over 98% made in the USA.

As always, our team is here to support you and to answer any questions.

We are appreciative of your anticipated understanding.

Sincerely,

Cary Kravet

On behalf of the Kravet family and our entire team

Charlotte Fabrics Tariff/Price Adjustment 5/28/2025

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 5:31 PM | Jill Ragan Scully (Administrator)

Hey there,

We’ve held off as long as we could but absorbing rising costs from tariffs is just no longer sustainable.

Starting June 1st, a small surcharge will apply:

Fabric or Vinyl: US $2/yard • CAN $3/yard
Leather: US $0.50/sq ft • CAN $0.75/sq ft
No surcharge on Closeouts, Lifeguard Treatment & Half-Yard Samples!

If (or when) tariffs go down, we’ll lower the surcharge too - that’s a promise~

Updated price lists are below and available at charlottefabrics.com, and all invoices will show the surcharge - no calculator needed.

Inventory Update:

We’re bringing in as much fabric as possible and working with U.S. mills to stay stocked. That said, some vendors aren’t restocking - so we can’t either.

*** Please check stock online or call us before selling a job - and have a second option ready, just in case! ***

If stock is low (20 yards or less) or your order would drop it below 20 yards, the material will need to be physically stock checked in our warehouse for pieces.

Thanks so much for your continued support - we truly appreciate it!

Warmly,

The Charlotte Fabrics Team

May 20, 2025

Dear Valued Horizons Dealers:

As a follow-up to our previous tariff bulletin, we are pleased to share that we are reducing the temporary surcharges applied to select product lines. This adjustment reflects improved conditions and is part of our ongoing effort to minimize the impact of tariffs on our customers.

The revised surcharges are as follows:

• 8% on Natural Shades Product Line

• 8% on Shades of Elegance™ Roller Shades Product Line

• 8% on Decorative Hardware Product Line

• 6% on Soft Product Line using our Stock Fabrics

• 3% on Soft Product Line using COM

These surcharges will be added to product costs and will take effect on new orders placed beginning Thursday, May 22nd, 2025.

We understand that price adjustments are never ideal, and we want to assure you that this measure is temporary. Our team is actively monitoring the situation and exploring all avenues to minimize the impact on our customers. We appreciate your understanding and continued support during this time.

For questions or more details about how these surcharges may affect your specific orders, please don’t hesitate to contact your account representative or our customer service team.

Sincerely,

Danny DeGuzman

Charlotte Fabrics Tariff Update 5/19/2025

Monday, May 19, 2025 4:01 PM | Jill Ragan Scully (Administrator)

Thank you for understanding

Dear Valued Customer,

We have waited as long as possible before making a decision on how to handle the huge cost increases we have incurred due to tariffs on imports and tariffs on raw material that are used in USA-made fabric. In the meantime, we have been absorbing all cost increases. Unfortunately, this is simply not sustainable.

Most of our competitors are going to add line items with varying percent increases; sometimes without notification. We find that to be confusing, requires a calculator and not transparent. Our policy below is the easiest and most understandable in the industry.

Effective June 1st, we will be implementing a small surcharge of:

- Fabric or Vinyl:$2 / per yard

- Leather: 50 cents/ sq foot

- Closeouts, Lifeguard Treatment & Half Yard Samples: No surcharge

We do not take this surcharge lightly, but please know we are still absorbing a large portion of the tariffs. Price lists showing the surcharge are available on charlottefabrics.com and by clicking the button below. All invoices will show the total surcharge billed. Pricing online will reflect the surcharge.

We hope our great country will continue to negotiate beneficial trade agreements with all countries around the world. If tariffs decrease significantly, our surcharge will as well.

Thank you,

Elliot S. Gensler
