Dear Valued Customer,
Staying committed to you, as we have throughout these changing global trade conditions, CBI remains dedicated to a transparent, customer-focused pricing strategy. Recent announcements of country specific tariffs and continuing global trade talks to stabilize tariffs and reduce tensions, offer cautious optimism. While challenges persist, these developments point toward a more consistent and predictable trade environment.
There were new tariffs announced on August 7, 2025. For import orders received after April 23, 2025, unless there are more tariff changes, CBI will absorb the increases on items from Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea.
The tariff on products from India increased 15% on August 7, 2025, and an additional 25% on August 27, 2025. With this additional tariff, the increase on import orders placed after April 23, 2025, will increase to 24%.
Currently, there are no immediate changes on goods from China.
All current prices now reflect the applicable tariffs and prevailing freight conditions.
Future Tariff Strategy:
CBI will continue to protect customers from frequent and sudden cost changes through the following approach:
• If the tariff changes by 10% or less, there will be no upcharge. • For any additional increase beyond the initial 10%, CBI will absorb 20% of the additional tariff amount. • This framework continues as intended to reduce pricing volatility and support long-term planning.
Ongoing Pricing Commitment:
Prices remain subject to change based on evolving market conditions. However, CBI is committed to adjusting only when it’s truly necessary. We are keeping a close eye on the global trade environment.
We deeply value your support and the relationship we’ve built together. Our focus on fairness, transparency, and always putting our customers first has not and will not change.
Sincerely,
The CBI Team
