Tariff Policy Updates

June 10, 2025

​

In response to recent changes in U.S. trade policy, HBControls has implemented a 10% Shared Tariff Recovery Surcharge on all orders.

This surcharge helps offset the rising import duties on internationally sourced components used in our products. As a small business that purchases and holds inventory well in advance, we often absorb these increased costs long before a product is sold. We’ve made every effort to avoid passing on these charges—but current conditions make this adjustment necessary.

​

Rather than raising the price of individual products, we’ve opted to apply a single surcharge line item for clarity and flexibility.

 

Key Details:

• The surcharge is 10% of the total order value

• It appears on invoices as a line item labeled “Shared Tariff Recovery Surcharge”

• This is a temporary, policy-driven fee and may be adjusted as tariff regulations change

• It is not a price increase or margin adjustment, but a direct response to actual increases in landed costs

​

We deeply value the trust and loyalty of our customers. Our goal is to maintain pricing that is fair, transparent, and stable—despite the unpredictable nature of international trade policy.
