Ever wondered where some of your offroad parts are made? I got this email from 4Wheel Parts:
As you are aware, the U.S. Government has imposed Round 2 of tariffs on goods that originated in China and then shipped to the United States. On May 8th , the U.S. announced that it raised those tariffs from 10% to 25%, effective Friday, May 10. An average incremental 15% tariff is now being imposed on a specific set of goods that arrive in the United States. Several items from the brands listed below are on that list. Next Week we will issue official new Jobbers and MAP prices, that will go into effect June 1st , 2019.
G/2, Pro Comp, Lrg, Smittybilt, Poison Spyder, Trail Master
While we continue to implement cost saving measures that enable you to purchase our items at a competitive cost, we will not be able to absorb the full impact of this tariff. As a result the full disclosure on the impacted items will be announced in the coming weeks. At the time you receive notification of the cost change, you will also receive additional information regarding Jobber and MAP prices as well.
We thank you for your business with Transamerican Auto Parts and the confidence you have in our Brands during this disruptive time.
