TARIFF RESPONSE

May 2025
Glory Star Staff
Dear Customers,
I hope this message finds you well. We want to keep you informed about the current U.S. tariff situation and how it impacts Glory Star Products, as well as share our strategy to ensure a seamless experience for you.
Tariff Overview for Glory Star Products
Reciprocal Tariff Exemption: Good news—per the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidance issued on April 11, 2025, our products (like computers and laptops) are exempt from reciprocal tariffs.

IEEPA Tariff: Our products may currently be subject to a 20% tariff under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as noted by CBP. Please be aware that the use of IEEPA for tariffs is under legal review, and we’re closely monitoring developments that could affect this.

Our Manufacturing and Shipping Strategy
Current Operations: We’re experiencing no disruptions in production or shipping from our China facility, and your order remains on schedule.
Proactive Backup Plan: To ensure supply chain stability and cost predictability, we’ve established a secondary manufacturing operation in Taiwan. If tariff policies or logistics change, we’re ready to pivot production to Taiwan.
Taiwan Manufacturing Details:
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 250 pieces, but this also depends on the model.
Cost Increase: 25–30% compared to China-based production.
Lead Time: At least 60-65 days for shipments from Taiwan, depends on the type of product for further evaluation.
We’re here to work with you to find the best solution for your needs, whether that’s continuing with our China-based production or exploring options from Taiwan.
If you have any questions, preferences, or want to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to sales@glorystargroup.com
Our team is ready to support you every step of the way. Please note that there may be changes to the above strategy, but you can stay assure that we will try our best to keep you informed.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We’ll keep you updated on any changes that could impact your orders.
