Transparency First: How Tariffs Impact Pricing and What We’re Doing About It

Last Updated: 4-15-2025

At Tamis Corporation, we’re committed to keeping you informed and supported as international trade policies continue to impact material costs across the industry. This page will serve as a resource for understanding current tariff-related surcharges, how they may affect your order, and how we’re working with you to keep your costs down.

🔍 What Is the Tariff Surcharge?

Due to recent increases in U.S. tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, and other raw materials, Tamis has implemented a Tariff Surcharge on select products.

This is not a markup. It’s a direct pass-through of additional costs we incur due to tariffs.
Surcharges are product-specific and vary by order depending on materials, quantities, and country of origin.
This change allows us to maintain quality and service without sacrificing reliability or delivery timelines.
