Complete systems like weather stations face full 170% tariffs. Importantly, the $800 tax-free allowance for Chinese imports to the U.S. remains valid through May 2, 2025 – orders under this value per shipment qualify for tariff exemption. To help our customers navigate these changes, we’re implementing a three-pronged strategy: 1. Accelerating U.S. warehouse restocking with weekly shipments to ensure availability of popular items.Need specific items? Submit your SKU list via our Google Form and we’ll prioritize them in upcoming shipments.
2. Exploring alternative production locations in Southeast Asia and Europe to diversify our supply chain. 3. Expanding our pre-order system to let customers reserve in-transit inventory.
