Important Announcement from RKI Instruments - Tariff Surcharges

Posted by William Kimmell on 28th Apr 2025

An Important Announcement From RKI Instruments:

Due to recent tariff measures enacted by the U.S. federal government and various international trade partners, RKI and its vendors are facing substantial cost increases. In response to these developments, RKI will be implementing a 5% tariff surcharge on the total value of each order, effective May 12, 2025.

This surcharge is necessary to help offset the rising costs associated with current and potential future tariffs. We are actively monitoring global trade policies and tariff activity to assess their impact on our operations and supply chain. Should there be any significant changes or new reciprocal tariffs, we will reevaluate the surcharge and make adjustments as appropriate.

We understand the challenges this may pose and are committed to supporting our partners through these changes. Our goal is to minimize the impact on your business as much as possible.

Please note that all active quotations will be honored at their current pricing through May 9th. Beginning May 12th all new orders or quotations will include the 5% surcharge. Take advantage of current pricing by finalizing orders before May 12th.

We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership during this period of economic adjustment. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
