Emergency U.S. tariffs went into effect April 5, and many of you are asking how this will impact our business and our pricing. 475.Supply sources products from Germany, the Netherlands, and other EU countries as well as from the United States. We proudly serve customers in both Canada and the United States.
Tariff information is evolving by the day—and even by the hour. We will use this post to keep you updated on any changes to our policies as they take effect. When we update this page, we’ll adjust the date at the top so you can always see when the latest changes were made.
Purchases in Canada
Because we stock products in our Canadian warehouses, prices in Canada will remain unaffected. We continue to ship directly from the EU to Canada without interruption or tariffs due to the free trade agreement.
Purchases in the United States
In the U.S., these new tariffs will affect the entire supply chain and building industry — from lumber, to appliances, to the high-performance tapes and membranes we supply. Many of the products our industry relies on are sourced from countries now facing steep tariff increases.
Our Commitment: At 475.Supply, we do our best to share the burden of increased costs.
For now, thanks to our current warehouse inventory, we expect to avoid passing on any additional costs to our U.S. customers until May 1, 2025, for Pro Clima, Lunos, Gutex, and Brink products. Per our sources, wood fiberboard is currently exempt from the tariff, but with the day-to-day changes, we can’t assure this for the long-term.
As new shipments arrive in the U.S. and tariffs are paid, our cost of goods will increase—and unfortunately, we will need to proportionally pass those increases on to customers. If they remain in place, we will work to implement any price changes gradually, with at least a two weeks' notice and do this transparently. Please check back on this page for current reactions to this developing situation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation, and as always, let us know how we can help.
