Dear Texture Customer,
 

As many of you are aware, the recent introduction of tariffs on all imported products entering the U.S. has raised concerns about pricing. To clarify, all imports into the US have been subject to a minimum 10% tariff surcharge since April 5, 2025. Tariffs are determined by the country of origin and are paid by the importer. #@#_WA_-_CURSOR_-_POINT_#@# The vast majority of our products originate from Europe, India and Turkey. Products from China consist of a minimal percentage (~6%) of our product offering.   

Given the volatile nature of ongoing tariff policies, we have chosen not to adjust any pricing at this time. Instead, we will introduce a temporary "Tariff Surcharge” line item on our orders, similar to how we handle a charge for freight. This approach allows us to remain flexible and adjust or remove the surcharge as trade policies evolve.
The following Tariff Surcharges will be implemented May 1, 2025:

• Tier 1: 5% Tariff Surcharge on all products originating from all countries except China.
• Tier 2: 35% Tariff Surcharge on all products originating from China. While the current tariff from China stands at 145%, Texture has chosen to share some of this cost temporarily.

  **A list of items subject to  35%  tariff surcharge are available to view here.**
 
On all orders either in house or received by April 30th, there will be no tariff surcharge. We believe this is a fair approach and hope this will allow you sufficient time to prepare and share this update with your customers.

We greatly value your business and want to reassure you that we are here to support you and are always available to answer your questions.
