Tariff Statement
EAO Corporation (EAO North America) actively seeks to mitigate the impact of tariffs by applying a lower percentage margin based on the highest discounted selling price which typically corresponds to the maximum quantity discount level. This approach aligns with the actual cost rate, allowing EAO Corporation (EAO North America) to present competitive pricing without revealing the precise cost of goods sold (COGS). By doing so, EAO Corporation (EAO North America) maintains the confidentiality of its product cost structures, safeguarding proprietary supplier agreements and internal pricing strategies, while still offering transparency to the customer. Please note that tariff details, including rates, covered goods, and country of origin requirements, are subject to change at any time without prior notice due to evolving regulatory and operational conditions. Final tariff determinations are based on the rules and requirements in effect at the time the products are collected by Customs and Border Protection.
As of February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) are invalid and may be eligible for reimbursement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has begun a phased refund process for certain 2025 IEEPA tariffs, with Phase One currently limited to select unliquidated entries and specific entries within 80 days of liquidation. EAO has filed refund requests for all eligible shipments where it acted as the Importer of Record and will reconcile refunded amounts upon receipt. Should refunds be approved, any reimbursable IEEPA amounts will be prorated in accordance with the EAO Applied Effective Rate. Eligible customers will receive a consolidated credit note, applied first to outstanding invoices with any remaining balance refunded. No action is required at this time, and EAO will continue to provide updates as CBP releases guidance for future refund phases.
Tariffs under Sections 122 and 301 remain in effect and non-refundable, as a recent court ruling limited to specific parties does not change their broader application. The rates listed below remain in effect as federally mandated duties and fees.
