RE: Notification of Tariff Impact on Products Made in China
Dear Valued Customer,
Mechatronics has a diverse manufacturing footprint. With facilities in Indonesia, Taiwan and China, our global facilities allow us to provide flexible solutions and high-quality products to meet a variety of customer needs.
On May 9, 2019 the US government announced import tariffs applied to China made products listed in Section 301 List 3 at 25%. Mechatronics products made in China are included in Section 301 List 3. For products subjected to the Section 301 25% tariff, Mechatronics applies a 20% Section 301 tariff surcharge to customer line items that have been impacted by the tariff.
On March 3, 2025 the US government announced an additional 20% import tariff on all products made in China in addition to the Section 301 tariffs, effective immediately. Unfortunately, Mechatronics cannot absorb these additional tariff costs. Effective today, we will add an additional 16% tariff surcharge along with the Section 301 surcharge of 20% to China made products for new purchase orders. If existing customer orders are impacted by the additional tariffs, a Mechatronics representative will contact you to discuss further.
Many Mechatronics products are not subject to these tariffs. A list of Mechatronics product series indicating country of origin and tariff impact is included on the following page for reference.
For those customers affected by the changing terms in Chinese trade regulations, Mechatronics has product alternatives available from our Indonesia and Taiwan factories that we can offer to mitigate tariff impact and stabilize your supply chain. If you have any questions about potential tariff impacts, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Shawn Psachos
Vice President
