a year ago

Tariffs on imports from Taiwan to the US have returned to 10% for 90 days, leading to a return to original pricing for items manufactured in Taiwan.
Sales of the lowest-priced base systems to US customers are paused as the remaining 10% tariff cannot be absorbed.
Modules manufactured in China face higher tariffs, resulting in elevated pricing to cover costs.
Framework Laptop 12 US pre-orders are delayed, with manufacturing capacity reserved to align with existing batches.
Products made in Taiwan, including Framework Laptops and Desktops, face a 32% import tariff, prompting a 10% price increase in the US.
Modules from China face tariffs between 104% and 129%, with partial absorption and price increases.
Western Digital storage from Malaysia faces a 24% tariff, with prices increased by up to 10%.
US pre-orders for Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) and Framework Desktop may see price adjustments, with customer confirmation required.

The company emphasizes transparency and longevity, with Supply Chain and Logistics teams working on solutions.
