Surcharge for Orders of Fixed Gas, Flame Detection, and High-Tech Products

Dear Valued Customers

As you are likely aware, recent unprecedented and unforeseeable volatility in raw material inflation rates and widespread supply shortages have had major impacts across multiple industries. As a global industrial manufacturer, these trends have led to significant and unanticipated increases in production costs (e.g., raw material, labour, and freight) and delays in material procurement across its fixed gas, flame, and high-tech product lines, despite Honeywell’s efforts to mitigate.

As a result of these unforeseeable cost increases outside of Honeywell’s reasonable control, a surcharge of five percent (5%) will be applied to all shipments effective November 1, 2021, applicable to both new orders and orders currently in the backlog. In addition, all outstanding quotes are subject to this surcharge with shipments starting November 1.

Orders placed after December 31, 2021 will be offered at 2022 pricing and the surcharge will be removed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate your continued loyalty to Honeywell while we navigate this volatile global environment.

Yours sincerely

Duncan Gooch
