Dear Valued Customer, I hope this email finds you well.
As you may be aware, the U.S. government has recently announced a new round of significant tariff increases on goods imported from China. This policy change has had a direct and substantial impact on our costs.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been working diligently to evaluate various solutions and minimize the effect on our customers. However, after careful consideration, we find it necessary to implement a price increase by approximately 30%, effective on May 12th, 2025. The new price list will be sent to you prior to the effective date.
Please understand that this adjustment is a difficult but necessary step for us to maintain the quality, stability, and reliability of our products and services. We remain committed to transparency, long-term partnership. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We truly appreciate your continued trust and understanding during this time.
