Tariff Updates
What You Need to Know
As you may be aware, recent tariff enforcement is impacting the global supply chain—particularly stainless steel and related components. CSI and our supplier partners are also affected and are actively navigating this shifting economic landscape as new information becomes available. We are committed to maintaining excellent service along with clear and accessible updates—available anytime.
How Tariffs Are Affecting the Supply Chain
CSI suppliers are responding to tariff implementation in two ways:
Price Increases
A supplier adjusts their list price in response to higher component and material costs affecting the product. CSI is updating list prices to align with these supplier-driven changes as they are announced.
Tariff Surcharges
A supplier includes a separate line item with the tariff surcharge as it applies to an impacted product or order. CSI will list this as a separate line item on quotes and order acknowledgments.
Please Note: In some cases, a price increase and surcharge may be applied to a quote or order without advance notice.
When this occurs, CSI will request an updated purchase order prior to shipping.
